EGenBio: a data management system for evolutionary genomics and biodiversity.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Systematic mutagenesis studies have shown that only a few interface residues termed hot spots contribute significantly to the binding free energy of protein-protein interactions. Therefore, hot spots prediction becomes increasingly important for well understanding the essence of proteins interactions and hel...
