NAME

       profisis - protein-protein interaction sites identified from sequence

SYNOPSIS

       profisis [OPTION]

DESCRIPTION

       profisis (ISIS) is a machine learning-based method that identifies interacting residues
       from sequence alone. Although the method is developed using transient protein-protein
       interfaces from complexes of experimentally known 3D structures, it never explicitly uses
       3D infor- mation. Instead, we combine predicted structural features with evolutionary
       information. The strongest predictions of the method reached over 90% accuracy in a cross-
       validation experiment. Our results suggest that despite the significant diversity in the
       nature of protein-protein interactions, they all share common basic principles and that
       these principles are identifiable from sequence alone.

   Conversion of PSI-BLAST alignment to HSSP format
       The most up-to-date procedure can be found at
       <https://www.rostlab.org/owiki/index.php/How_to_generate_an_HSSP_file_from_alignment#Generating_an_HSSP_profile>.

       1. Convert BLAST output to a Single Alignment Format (SAF):
            /usr/share/librg-utils-perl/blast2saf.pl fasta=<query_fasta_file> maxAli=3000 eSaf=1 \
             saf=<saf_formatted_file> <blast_output>

       2. Convert SAF format to HSSP:
            /usr/share/librg-utils-perl/copf.pl <saf_formatted_file> formatIn=saf formatOut=hssp \
             fileOut=<hssp_formatted_file> exeConvertSeq=convert_seq

       3. Filter results to 80% redundancy:
            /usr/share/librg-utils-perl/hssp_filter.pl red=80 <hssp_formatted_file> fileOut=<filtered_hssp_formatted_file>

   Output format
       See description of --outformat option.

       --nodebug
           Default: --nodebug

       --succinct
           Succinct output (print no confidence values).

       Parameters controlling post processing - these parameters affect only the top part of the
