PPIscreenML: Structure-based screening for protein-protein interactions using AlphaFold.

ABSTRACT: Protein-protein interactions underlie nearly all cellular processes. With the advent of protein structure prediction methods such as AlphaFold2 (AF2), models of specific protein pairs can be built extremely accurately in most cases. However, determining the relevance of a given protein pair remains an open question. It is presently unclear how to use best structure-based tools to infer whether a pair of candidate proteins indeed interact with one another: ideally, one might even use such information to screen amongst candidate pairings to build up protein interaction networks. Whereas methods for evaluating quality of modeled protein complexes have been co-opted for determining which pairings interact (e.g., pDockQ and iPTM), there have been no rigorously benchmarked methods for this task.
