Welcome to
Protein-Touch
A tool for the identification of residues
critical in protein-protein interactions

Protein-Touch is a theoretical method that allows to identify protein
residues that are important for the formation of protein-protein
complexes.

When we make blind tests on a set of proteins that form characterized
complexes, the regions of interaction resulting from our predictions
overlap with the regions experimentally determined. The method has
general application provided that the proteins do not interact transiently
and weakly, or exclusively through the mediation of very short motifs.
