What is InterEvScore?

InterEvScore is a novel scoring function for heteromeric protein interfaces which combines a multi-body statistical potential with evolutionary information derived from coupled multiple sequence alignments for each partner in the complex.

To generate decoys (candidate interfaces) for a pair of proteins, that you will then score using InterEvScore, you can use for instance the docking programs ZDOCK or Hex.

How to use InterEvScore?

First, you should download the InterEvScore package.

InterEvScore should be run from the command line using: 
[Python_executable] {InterEvScore_directory}/InterEvScore.py [running_options]

For instance: 
python InterEvScore.py -p my_PDB_id
                       -f my_complex_file.pdb
                       -a1 alig_for_first_chain.fasta
                       -a2 alig_for_second_chain.fasta
                       -o my_output_file.txt
                       -ch AB
                       -c config_IvS.ini
