Below you can try our prediction algorithm by entering the four letter PDB code of a protein or uploading your own structure file that is in the PDB format with the chain identifiers. Please do not submit PDB files containing only one chain. This will return an error! Hotpoint requires two chain identifiers which corresponds to a protein interface.
Enter the one letter chain identifiers for interface generation.
Chain1:
Chain2:
Enter the distance threshold to fetch the interface residues.
Default:The sum of van der Waals radii of two atoms + 0.5Å
User defined distance threshold (Å):
