Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are fundamental to many cellular processes, making them important targets for therapeutic intervention and critical focus in the study of various diseases. PPI sites contain critical areas known as hotspots, which are crucial for the strength and specificity of the interactions (1,2). The stability of these PPIs is vital for cellular equilibrium and the regulation of complex biological activities (3,4).

1 INTRODUCTION Proteins mediate a range of critical biological functions in the cell, such as the transport of molecules in and out,1 identification of pathogens and recruitment of T-cells to kill them,2 and cell growth,3, 4 via tightly coordinated interactions with other molecules. Understanding of the molecular mechanisms of how the different molecules interact represents an attractive way of potentially utilize these interacting interface regions for the development of new drugs.
