Protein-protein interfaces have been attracting great attention owing to their critical roles in protein-protein interactions and the fact that human disease-related mutations are generally enriched in them. Recently, substantial research progress has been made in this field, which has significantly promoted the understanding and treatment of various human diseases. For example, many studies have discovered the properties of disease-related mutations. Besides, as more large-scale experimental data become available, various computational approaches have been proposed to advance our understanding of disease mutations from the data. Here, we overview recent advances in characteristics of disease-related mutations at protein-protein interfaces, mutation effects on protein interactions, and investigation of mutations on specific diseases.
