Deep Learning Model Predicts Water Interaction Sites On The Surface Of Proteins Using Limited-Resolution Data

We develop a residual deep learning model, hotWater (https://pypi.org/project/hotWater/), to identify key water interaction sites on proteins for binding models and drug discovery. This is tested on new crystal structures, as well as cryo-EM and NMR structures from the PDB and in crystallographic refinement with promising results.
