Peptide docking and structure-based characterization of peptide binding: from knowledge to know-how

- Accrual of peptide-protein complex structures allowed their detailed characterization.
- This has lead to rapid progress in peptide docking, based on diverse sampling approaches.
- Resulting models are predictive of binding specificity and enable design of inhibitors.
- Establishment of peptide-docking benchmarks and CAPRI challenges will further advance the field.
