iSPOT -- a web tool to infer the interaction specificity of families of protein modules

What you can do:
Infer the peptide binding specificity of any member of a family of protein binding domains.
Highlights:
  • iSPOT is a web tool developed to infer the recognition specificity of protein module families;
  • It is based on the SPOT procedure that utilizes information from position-specific contacts, derived from the available domain/ligand complexes of known structure, and experimental interaction data to build a database of residuex96residue contact frequencies.
  • iSPOT is available to infer the interaction specificity of PDZ, SH3 and WW domains.
  • For each family of protein domains, iSPOT evaluates the probability of interaction between a query domain of the specified families and an input protein/peptide sequence and makes it possible to search for potential binding partners of a given domain within the SWISS-PROT database.
  • The experimentally derived interaction data utilized to build the PDZ, SH3 and WW databases of residuex96residue contact frequencies are also accessible.
