HotSprint: database of computational hot spots in protein interfaces
We present a new database of computational hot spots in protein interfaces: HotSprint. Hot spots are residues comprising only a small fraction of interfaces yet accounting for the majority of the binding energy. HotSprint contains data for 35 776 protein interfaces among 49 512 protein interfaces extracted from the multi-chain structures in Protein Data Bank (PDB) as of February 2006. The conse...
متن کاملAnatomy of hot spots in protein interfaces.
Binding of one protein to another is involved in nearly all biological functions, yet the principles governing the interaction of proteins are not fully understood. To analyze the contributions of individual amino acid residues in protein-protein binding we have compiled a database of 2325 alanine mutants for which the change in free energy of binding upon mutation to alanine has been measured ...
متن کاملStructural conservation of druggable hot spots in protein-protein interfaces.
Despite the growing number of examples of small-molecule inhibitors that disrupt protein-protein interactions (PPIs), the origin of druggability of such targets is poorly understood. To identify druggable sites in protein-protein interfaces we combine computational solvent mapping, which explores the protein surface using a variety of small "probe" molecules, with a conformer generator to accou...
متن کاملPCRPi: Presaging Critical Residues in Protein interfaces, a new computational tool to chart hot spots in protein interfaces
Protein-protein interactions (PPIs) are ubiquitous in Biology, and thus offer an enormous potential for the discovery of novel therapeutics. Although protein interfaces are large and lack defining physiochemical traits, is well established that only a small portion of interface residues, the so-called hot spot residues, contribute the most to the binding energy of the protein complex. Moreover,...
متن کاملPrediction of hot spots in protein interfaces using a random forest model with hybrid features.
Prediction of hot spots in protein interfaces provides crucial information for the research on protein-protein interaction and drug design. Existing machine learning methods generally judge whether a given residue is likely to be a hot spot by extracting features only from the target residue. However, hot spots usually form a small cluster of residues which are tightly packed together at the ce...
