COCOMAPS 2.0 is a free web server for studying how proteins bind to other proteins or to nucleic acids. It maps and visualizes the contact interface between two molecules — which residues touch and how much surface they bury — automating an analysis structural biologists otherwise do by hand. This release adds more comprehensive and accurate interface comparison on top of the original tool’s residue-level and buried-surface-area analysis. For students working on docking or protein complexes, it is a practical way to read and compare binding interfaces without writing custom code.
