“…The important factor influencing the accuracy of interaction predictions is the proper representation of the proteins. There are two classes of input data used in most theoretical methods: sequence profiles (phylogenetic profiles [63], mRNA expression levels [64], the presence of protein domains in analyzed sequences [65], and other approaches [66][67][68]); and three-dimensional structures of interacting partners (prediction methods tested every year in independent computational experiments in the Critical Assessment of PRediction of Interactions, CAPRI [57], methods based on the features of protein surfaces that allow for typing of the protein complexes [58,[69][70][71], the selection of the most important residues and their features on protein interfaces [59,[72][73][74], and other representations of experimental data [6,[75][76][77]). If the complex structure is known, it is possible to select interacting interfaces on the protein surfaces, find the most important residues, and analyze their evolutionary conservation or physico-chemical features [6,58,78,79].…”
