This volume looks at the latest techniques used to perform comparative structure analyses, and predict and evaluate protein-ligand interactions. The chapters in this book cover tools and servers such as LiteMol; Bio3D-Web; DALI; CATH; HoTMuSiC, a contact-base protein structure analysis tool known as CAD-Score; PyDockSaxs and HADDOCK; CombDock and DockStar; the BioMagResBank database; as well as BME and CoNSEnsX+. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, step-by-step, readily reproducible computational protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Structural Bioinformatics: Methods and Protocols is a practical guide for researchers to learn more about the aforementioned tools to further enhance their studies in the growing field of structural bioinformatics.
