Tool: ProteinFP: End-to-end protein function prediction from structure alone (active sites, binding pockets, PPIs, drug targets)
ProteinFP is an open-source computational pipeline that predicts protein function from structure + sequence evidence, no experimental annotations required.
What it predicts:
- Active sites and catalytic residues
- Binding interfaces and pockets
- Allosteric sites
- Chemical environment per residue
- Protein-protein interactions
- GO term annotations (MF, BP, CC)
- Drug target modality recommendations (small molecule, ADC, CAR-T, PROTAC)
- Small Molecule and Antibody Evolutionary Engine
How it works: Input is a UniProt ID. The pipeline fetches the AlphaFold structure, runs homology search (BLAST vs Swiss-Prot + InterProScan), and passes results through 13 chained modules to produce a full function report. Validation: Tested on 75+ well-characterised proteins spanning kinases, proteases, transcription factors, and GTPases. Mean GO recall >0.94 across MF/BP/CC. Quick start:
pip install proteinfp
proteinfp --uniprot P28593 # Trypanothione reductase (Chagas disease)

Github link is broken. Private repo?
Yes, sorry about that. The repo was private while I was still cleaning things up. It should be public now: ProteinFP GitHub
