User interfaces for predicting, evaluating and visualizing protein complexes

Abstract

As protein complexes are key entities to carry out many important biological functions. A newly introduced computational approach, an algorithm, called InteHC, uses four different data sources to achieve very good performance for predicting protein complexes. However currently it does not have an interface, thus a motivation to design a user-friendly interface for InteHC so that researchers can use the algorithm to generate candidate protein complexes for further investigation The interface will come with three components; the first component allows the user not only to be able select the data source(s) to be use but also change the weight value of each source to their liking. The second component will predict the protein complexes and output the result into a file set by the user. The user can then evaluate the performance of their result in last component.
