Members of this mailing list may be in a position to help with targets for the next "Critical Assessment of PRediction of Interactions ".
CAPRI (Critical Assessment of Predicted Interactions) is a community-wide blind experiment aimed at assessing the performance of protein docking algorithms (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/capri/) [1,2]. CAPRI acts as a catalyst for the development of computational methods for the prediction and analysis of biomolecular interactions. We call here upon the worldwide structural biology community to contribute targets to CAPRI. If you have solved or are about to solve the 3D structure of a protein-protein, protein-DNA, protein-RNA or protein-peptide complex, you may consider submitting your structure as a target to CAPRI. By doing so, you will contribute to advancing the methodology. This may also provide you with new information on the quaternary structure of your complex and will increase the visibility of your work since CAPRI participants are requested to duly cite the provenance of all targets. CAPRI is designed to maintain strict confidentiality on the target and imposes no delay on its publication, as the experiment is running whenever a new target is submitted, prior to any public release of the coordinates to the PDB and publication. To enable this, the coordinates should be made available to the CAPRI assessment team on a confidential basis prior to their release. To find out more about CAPRI target submission see: (http://www.ebi.ac.uk/msd-srv/capri/call_for_targets.html ), or directly contact the CAPRI management team via Prof. Dr. Shoshana Wodak at shosh...@sickkids.ca We thank you for your contribution to CAPRI.
