We present the seventh report on the performance of methods for predicting the atomic resolution structures of protein complexes offered as targets to the community-wide initiative on the Critical Assessment of Predicted Interactions. Performance was evaluated on the basis of 36 114 models of protein complexes submitted by 57 groups-including 13 automatic servers-in prediction rounds held during the years 2016 to 2019 for eight protein-protein, three protein-peptide, and five protein-oligosaccharide targets with different length ligands. Six of the protein-protein targets represented challenging hetero-complexes, due to factors such as availability of distantly related templates for the individual subunits, or for the full complex, inter-domain flexibility, conformational adjustments at the binding region, or the multi-component nature of the complex. The main challenge for the protein-peptide and protein-oligosaccharide complexes was to accurately model the ligand conformation and its interactions at the interface. Encouragingly, models of acceptable quality, or better, were obtained for a total of six protein-protein complexes, which included four of the challenging hetero-complexes and a homo-decamer. But fewer of these targets were predicted with medium or higher accuracy. High accuracy models were obtained for two of the three protein-peptide targets, and for one of the protein-oligosaccharide targets. The remaining protein-sugar targets were predicted with medium accuracy. Our analysis indicates that progress in predicting increasingly challenging and diverse types of targets is due to closer integration of template-based modeling techniques with docking, scoring, and model refinement procedures, and to significant incremental improvements in the underlying methodologies.
