A new algorithm to predict protein-protein binding sites using conservation of both protein surface structure and physical-chemical properties in structurally similar proteins is developed. Binding-site residues in proteins are known to be more conserved than the rest of the surface, and finding local surface similarities by comparing a protein to its structural neighbors can potentially reveal the location of binding sites on this protein. This approach, which has previously been used to predict binding sites for small ligands, is now extended to predict protein-protein binding sites. Examples of binding-site predictions for a set of proteins, which have previously been studied for sequence conservation in protein-protein interfaces, are given. The predicted binding sites and the actual binding sites are in good agreement. Our algorithm for finding conserved surface structures in a set of similar proteins is a useful tool for the prediction of protein-protein binding sites.
