A structure‐based function‐prediction technique SPOT for carbohydrate‐binding proteins is reported on page 2177 (DOI: 10.1002/jcc.23730 ) by Huiying Zhao, Yuedong Yang, Mark von Itzstein, and Yaoqi Zhou. The method first predicts a complex structure between a target protein and a template carbohydrate based on a structural alignment program SPalign and subsequently validates the binding by using a knowledge‐based potential with a DFIRE reference state. The leave‐one‐out cross‐validation confirms that the method has high precision and reasonable sensitivity in predicting binding function and binding residues.
