N2  - In the past years protein-protein interactions have gained a lot of interest in the fields of pharmacy, medicine, biology, and bioinformatics. In this work, statistical information on transient protein-protein interactions are collected and analyzed. Characteristic properties are then evaluated and their predictability estimated. Therefore, the results from a common docking approach are re-evaluated with the collected information to discriminate the native structure from those that simply have a high geometric complementarity at the interface region. The results show that although there is a noticeable improvement of the predictability after applying statistical information, the overall accuracy is still low. To find other more specific properties, transient and permanent complexes were compared to each other. The lack of data leads to an extensive search for more suitable structural data and the development of an extensive database. This database was ultimately used to retrieve a large number of protein properties that were automatically analyzed for their separation precision. A high accuracy was obtained in separating transient and permanent interactions based on the combination of only four properties. Combining this information with common docking approaches based on geometrical complementarity may lead to satisfying sensitivities.
