Welcome to Spatom!
Spatom is a state-of-the-art software to predict
protein-protein interaction sites(PPIS).
Users can use Spatom webserver to predict
protein-protein interaction sites using resolved
protein structures or predicted protein structures generated by AlphaFold2
(Github page and
online ColabFold ) .
In Spatom, our task is to predict protein-protein
interaction sites based on the protein structure.
We first define a weighted digraph for a protein structure to precisely characterize the spatial
contacts of residues,
then performs a 7-layer weighted digraph convolution, and finally add an improved graph attention
layer to drive the
predicted sites to form a continuous region.
Spatom was tested on a diverse set of challenging
protein–protein complexes and multiple popular
disease-related proteins demonstrating great superiority over all the compared methods.
