• Protein structural alignment - the attempt to discover the homology between two or more protein structures using their shape
• Protein structure prediction - the prediction of the three dimensional structure of a protein from its amino acid sequence
• Protein-protein docking - the quaternary structures formed by the interaction of two or more protein macromolecules
