Method	Abstract: "In the present study, the Brownian dynamics simulation method is used to compute the rate of association of neutral spherical model proteins with the stated docking criteria."
Comments	P. 3340 left column 3rd paragraph: "Pathway and Rates for Forming the Protein-Protein Bond. The formation of a fully orientation-specific complex of two protein subunits can be viewed as a stepwise process, in which the proteins initially encounter in an orientationally nonspecifc fashion, followed by rotational motions that lead to formation of an increasing number of contacts (N = 1, 2, and 3). The intermediate states are described below, and the estimated rate constants of achieving these states are given in Table 1." BD=Brownian Dynamics
