Did you know... InterfaceResidues The red residues were detected as being in the interface of the two proteins. This is PDB 1H4G from the Example below. Overview This script finds interface residues between two proteins or chains, using the following concept. First, we take the area of the complex. Then, we split the complex into two pieces, one for each chain. Next, we calculate the chain-only surface area. Lastly, we take the difference between the comeplex-based areas and the chain-only-based areas. If that value is greater than your supplied cutoff, then we call it an interface residue. Usage interfaceResidue complexName[, cA=firstChainName[, cB=secondChainName[, cutoff=dAsaCutoff[, selName=selectionNameToReturn ]]]] where, complexName The name of the complex. cA and cB must be within in this complex cA The name of the first chain to investigate cB The name of the 2nd chain to investigate cutoff The dASA cutoff, in sqaure Angstroms ..→
