An improved DNA-binding hot spot residues prediction method by exploring interfacial neighbor properties

Abstract Background DNA-binding hot spots are dominant and fundamental residues that contribute most of the binding free energy yet accounting for a small portion of protein–DNA interfaces. As experimental methods for identifying hot spots are time-consuming and costly, high-efficiency computational...
