PPI-Surfer: A protein-protein interface comparison program based on local surface matching


PPI-Surfer is a protein-protein interface comparison program that uses local surface matching between the PPIs. It uses three-dimensional Zernike descriptor to calculate similarity of the patches. Detailed description of the program is given in the reference below:
