HMI-PRED 2

Predict Host-Microbe Interactions

HMI-PRED 2.0 predicts microbial target proteins based on interface mimicry. Assume two proteins with a similar surface patch (interface). One of them is known to interact with a target protein by attaching the surface patch to the target. Then, it is possible that the other protein having a similar patch also interacts with the same target. This is interface mimicry, the core concept behind HMI-PRED 2.0. Interface mimicry is an efficient strategy: it allows microbes to affect hosts without strong sequence homology or global structural similarity. Learn More

User guide

HMI-PRED 2.0 predicts protein-protein interactions based on interface mimicry. Surface matching, filtering, docking, and refinements are crucial parts of the prediction process.

Run HMI-PRED

Using HMI-PRED 2.0 is as simple as a few clicks. The only required input is the microbial protein PDB ID. Advanced users can query their own microbe proteins, choose template sets, and control filtering parameters.

HMI-PRED 2.0 Database

Modeled structure database (AlphaFold 2)

We modeled a large number of microbial protein structures using AlphaFold 2, the state-of-the-art computational method for modeling protein structures. While our main aim is to predict host-microbe interactions, we also provide download options for the modeled proteins. Download AF2 models
