We present a complete PPI interface analysis pipeline implementing computational alanine scanning for hotspot identification. Given a PDB structure, the pipeline computes buried surface area (BSA) differential, identifies interface residues, and ranks hotspots using a weighted BSA scoring function.

Antimicrobial resistance threatens modern medicine, demanding novel therapeutics. This study develops a computational framework for de novo design of antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) targeting ESKAPE pathogens (Enterococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacteriaceae) using genetic algorithm optimization.
