A fast method to predict protein interaction sites from sequences.

Abstract excerpt

A simple method for predicting residues involved in protein interaction sites is proposed. In the absence of any structural report, the procedure identifies linear stretches of sequences as "receptor-binding domains" (RBDs) by analysing hydrophobicity distribution. The sequences of two databases of non-homologous interaction sites eliciting various biological activities were tested; 59-80 % were detected as RBDs....
