PredUs: a web server for predicting protein interfaces using structural neighbors.

We describe PredUs, an interactive web server for the prediction of protein-protein interfaces. Potential interfacial residues for a query protein are identified by 'mapping' contacts from known interfaces of the query protein's structural neighbors to surface residues of the query. We calculate a score for each residue to be interfacial with a support vector machine. Results can be visualized in a molecular viewer and a number of interactive features allow users to tailor a prediction to a particular hypothesis.
