Abstract:
Understanding the binding sites within proteins is vital for determining their functional properties including the host-virus interactions. Therefore, to meet the pressing demand for rapid identification of these binding sites, fast computational prediction techniques have become essential. The recently developed method EquiPPIS enables accurate and scalable prediction of generalized, partner-independent protein-protein interaction sites for a wide range of proteins and thus can deepen our understanding of viral replication. The predicted interaction sites within these proteins can guide us how to disrupt these viral replications, offering rapid antiviral strategies that are applicable to multiple (+)RNA viruses. Here, we present the detailed procedures of protein-protein interaction site prediction by EquiPPIS and its application in studying viral replication.

Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...
Ligand Binding Sites
Protein-ligand interactions are quite specific; even though numerous potential ligands surround a cellular protein at any given time, only a particular ligand can bind to that protein. Moreover, a ligand binds only to a dedicated area on the surface of the protein, known as the...
