ELASPIC web-server: proteome-wide structure-based prediction of mutation effects on protein stability and binding affinity

ELASPIC is a novel ensemble machine-learning approach that predicts the effects of mutations on protein folding and protein-protein interactions. Here, we present the ELASPIC webserver, which makes the ELASPIC pipeline available through a fast and intuitive interface. The webserver can be used to evaluate the effect of mutations on any protein in the Uniprot database, and allows all predicted results, including modeled wild-type and mutated structures, to be managed and viewed online and downloaded if needed. It is backed by a database which contains improved structural domain definitions, and a list of curated domain-domain interactions for all known proteins, as well as homology models of domains and domain-domain interactions for the human proteome. Homology models for proteins of other organisms are calculated on the fly, and mutations are evaluated within minutes once the homology model is available.
