HerpesPPIs

Explore predicted and experimentally validated protein-protein interactions across human herpesviruses. Select datasets, adjust confidence thresholds, and compare interaction networks.

Data extracted: November 6, 2025 100,000+ predicted models 24 integrated datasets
Important: Some proteins, such as gB, require high-order oligomers to function. The dimeric predictions shown here may inform on interfaces but might not represent functional units.

Dataset Selection

Choose the datasets to include, then compare shared interactions or interactions specific to Group A. Confidence thresholds can be adjusted under Advanced Filters.

Analysis Mode
Shared = interactions present in every selected Group A dataset.
Group A: —
Group B: —

Predictions were run with LocalColabFold on the DESY compute cluster.

Molecular visualization uses Mol* Viewer with JSmol as a fallback when WebGL is unavailable.

The interaction network is rendered using Cytoscape.js for graph visualization and analysis.
