MAPIYA contact map server for identification and visualization of molecular interactions in proteins and biological complexes

Nucleic Acids Res. 2022 Jul 5;50(W1):W474-W482. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkac307.

Abstract

Correct identification and effective visualization of interactions in biomolecular structures facilitate understanding of their functions and molecular design. In response to the practical needs of structure-based analysis, we have created a Mapiya web server. The Mapiya integrates four main functionalities: (i) generation of contact maps - intramolecular and intermolecular-for proteins, nucleic acids, and their complexes; (ii) characterization of the interactions physicochemical nature, (iii) interactive visualization of biomolecular conformations with automatic zoom on selected contacts using Molstar and (iv) additional sequence- and structure-based analyses performed with third-party software and in-house algorithms combined into an easy-to-use interface. Thus, Mapiya offers a highly customized analysis of the molecular interactions' in various biological systems. The web server is available at: http://mapiya.lcbio.pl/.
