Python script for determining interface atoms between two chains of a protein using Euclidean distance.
Many biological functions involve the formation of protein-protein complexes. A complex is a structure consisting of two or more interacting proteins. The interface of interacting proteins is defined as the set of amino acids of the two proteins within a certain threshold distance. The characterization of protein-protein interfaces is important because it will enable the prediction of protein interactions providing insight into their function.
