APIS: accurate prediction of hot spots in protein interfaces by combining protrusion index with solvent accessibility

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>It is well known that most of the binding free energy of protein interaction is contributed by a few key hot spot residues. These residues are crucial for understanding the function of proteins and studying their interactions. Experi...
