Description
PredHS2 is a webserver which can effectively predict hot spots on protein-protein interaction interfaces, it is based on our previous method PredHS. Figure 1 shows the flowchart of PredHS2. Firstly, the training dataset is generated by integrating four datasets including ASEdb, SKEMPI, Ab+, and Alexov sDB. And the independent dataset is extracted from the BID database. The residues in the datasets are encoded using a large number of sequence, structure, energy and exposure features, and two categories of structural neighborhood properties (Euclidean and Voronoi). As a result, a total of 200 site features, 200 Euclidean features, and 200 Voronoi features are obtained. Then a two-step feature selection approach is applied to select the optimal feature set. Finally, the prediction classifier is built using Extreme Gradient Boosting based on the optimal feature set.
