Abstract

As protein structure prediction tools become widely adopted across biology, there is a growing need for accessible methods to assess and visualize predicted protein-protein interactions (PPIs). Here we present LIVIA (Local Interaction Visualization and Analysis), a browser-based tool that computes local PPI confidence metrics across multiple prediction platforms, identifies predicted interface residues, embeds an interactive Mol* 3D viewer, and generates visualization scripts for ChimeraX and PyMOL. The tool automatically detects prediction formats; all parsing and computation occur locally on the user's machine. LIVIA is freely available at https://flyark.github.io/LIVIA.
