The structure of a protein complex together with information about its affinity and other thermodynamic characteristics provide a “frozen” view of the complex. This picture ignores the kinetic nature of protein-protein association and dissociation, which is of major biological and biophysical interest. This review focuses on recent advances in deciphering the kinetic pathway of protein complex formation, the nature of the precomplex formed through diffusion (which we termed the “transient complex” 1), the transition state, and other intermediates (such as the so-called encounter complex) along the association pathway.Protein-protein association is at the center of diverse biological processes ranging from enzyme catalysis/inhibition to regulation of immune response by cytokines. The association rates often play a critical role in such processes, as in situations where speed is of essence. 2 For example, the purple cone snail and other venomous animals capture prey with remarkable efficiency and speed by releasing toxins that rapidly bind to ion channels; 3 the green mamba achieves a similar feat by targeting acetylcholinesterase (AChE), an enzyme essential for the integrity of neural transmission. 4
