Interface analysis servers
The purpose of this article is to list and evaluate servers that analyze interfaces within molecular models, such as protein-protein and ligand-protein interfaces.
COCOMAPSCOCOMAPS
COCOMAPS[1] analyzes and visualizes interfaces in biological complexes (such as protein-protein, protein-DNA and protein-RNA complexes). The interface(s) to analyze are specified with the chain identifiers in the PDB file. Output includes three different contact maps, as well as tables reporting detailed information about the interacting residues (defined on the basis of a cut-off distance that can be customized by the user), the residues at the interfaces (defined on the basis of the buried surface upon complex formation), the inter-molecular H-bonds, the buried area, and the interface areas (both as Å2 and percentages).
