      MethodsDescriptionAdvantagesLimits
      Interface residue pair predictionComplexContact; RaptorX-Contact; RaptorX-Property; Gremlin; DNCON2; PSICOV; FreeContact; LSTM; LSTM with Graph RepresentationDirect evolutionary coupling analysis (DCA), machine learning and deep learning methodsInterfacial residue pair prediction can help subsequent protein complex structure predictions, such as docking.Protein contact map prediction can help reconstruct the three-dimensional structure of protein complexes.The accuracy of interface residues for prediction needs to be improved.
      Protein structure predictionTemplate-freeZDOCK; GRAMM; DOT; SmoothDock; ClusPro; MolFit; FTDock; 3D-Dock; PIPER; pyDock; HDOCK; SDOCK; HEX; FRODOCK; InterEvDock; MDockPP; CoDockPP; HSYMDOCK; SAM; RosettaDock; ICM-DOCK; HADDOCK; ATTRACT; DARWIN; Multi-LZerD; AutoDockThe search strategies of these methods are mainly FFT, GA and MC.Protein docking can give all possible complex structures, some of which can also dock Cn and Dn complexes.Designing an effective scoring function to sort the docking structure remains to be further explored.
      Template-basedInterPreTS; Multimeric threading approach; M-Tasser; PISA; ProtCIDUsing sequence or structure similarity to model protein complexes with known structures.Template-based methods mainly reduce the possible structure by restricting the direction of protein binding. This method is more efficient than docking and can be applied to larger-scale protein complex prediction.For proteins without a template, the structure of the complex cannot be predicted.
      Protein complex prediction from PPI networksComplex prediction based on PPI network clusteringMCODE; MCL; SPC; LCMA; SuperComplex; BN; CFinder; DPClus; IPCA; CMC; ClusterONE; HACOThe protein complex is part of a known PPI network, that is, the graph composed of protein complexes and their interactions is a subgraph of the PPI network.Some of these methods only use the PPI network for clustering, and some use additional biological information, including structure, function, organization and co-evolution infornation, etc.The proteins that may form complexes can only be picked out from the existing PPI network.
      Complex interaction link prediction from PPI networkGGA; HAC; ECT; RWR; MDS; Link-weighted PPIMethods to predict actual links in the network include public neighbors-based methods and distance-based methods.This type of method predicts possible protein--protein interactions based on existing network information.Public neighbors-based methods have limited effect on sparse networks.
