OPEN ACCESS PLUS
Accepted articles are published online for free open access for all to view. Open access publishing provides the maximum dissemination of the article to the largest audience. Authors must pay for this service. All corresponding authors will be asked to indicate whether or not they wish to pay to have their paper made freely available on publication. If authors do not select the Open Access option, then their article will be published with standard subscription-based access at no charge.
Authors who opt for Open Access Plus may also self-archive publishers postprints. Bentham Science is compliant with the open access policy for the MRC, Cancer Research UK, NIH, and many other funders.

Computational tools have been used extensively to examine protein-protein and protein-ligand interactions. Continuum electrostatics calculations and molecular dynamics simulations can provide insight into the structural stability, binding, and function of proteins, and in turn can serve as predictive tools for guiding the design of experiments to probe specific molecular phenomena. In this review, we describe methods and tools used to understand protein interactions, and discuss steps taken toward improvement and optimization of these methods. We also describe a number of applications of in silico modeling tools to protein interactions with implications in pathogenic infections and autoimmune disorders.
