Abstract

Summary: Herein we present COCOMAPS, a novel tool for analyzing, visualizing and comparing the interface in protein-protein and protein-nucleic acids complexes. COCOMAPS combines traditional analyses and 3D visualization of the interface with the effectiveness of intermolecular contact maps.

Availability: COCOMAPS is accessible as a public web tool at http://www.molnac.unisa.it/BioTools/cocomaps
