Currently, we offer models for SH2, SH3 and PDZ domains via the tools SH2PepInt, SH3PepInt and PDZPepInt, respectively. More specifically, our server offers predictions for 51 SH2 human domains and 69 SH3 human domains via single domain models, and predictions for 226 PDZ domains across several species, via 43 multidomain models. All models are based on support vector machines with different kernel functions ranging from polynomial, to Gaussian, to advanced graph kernels. In this way, we model non-linear interactions between amino acid residues. Results were validated on manually curated datasets achieving competitive performance against various state-of-the-art approaches. Availability and implementation: The MoDPepInt server is available under the URL http://modpepint.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/ CONTACT: : backofen@informatik.uni-freiburg.de Supplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.} }
