Protein-protein Interfaces

Protein-protein Interfaces

Many proteins form complexes to carry out their functions, making protein-protein interactions (PPIs) essential for an organism's survival. Most PPIs are stabilized by numerous weak noncovalent chemical forces. The physical shape of the interfaces determines the way two proteins interact. Many globular proteins have closely-matching shapes on their surfaces, which form a large number of weak bonds. Additionally, many PPIs occur between two helices or between a surface cleft and a...

Background:

Hetero-interface formation is a key materials design strategy with vast potential.
Optimizing interface properties requires efficient, high-throughput methods due to the large design space.

Purpose of the Study:

Introduce InterMatch, a high-throughput computational framework for predicting interfacial properties.
Demonstrate InterMatch's capability in predicting charge transfer, strain, and superlattice structure.
Accelerate the design and discovery of novel material interfaces.

Main Methods:

Develop a computational framework, InterMatch, that utilizes bulk material properties from databases (e.g., Materials Project).
Input parameters include lattice vectors, density of states, and stiffness tensors.
Estimate interfacial properties (charge transfer, strain, superlattice structure) from bulk data.

Main Results:

Benchmark InterMatch predictions against experimental data and density-functional theory calculations for charge transfer.
Successfully predict promising interface candidates for doping transition metal dichalcogenide MoSe2.
