Abstract: A method of identifying interface residues in a biomolecular complex are identified by selecting one molecule with residues to be identified, and the nonexchangeable hydrogens (protons) and not less than 70% of exchangeable hydrogens (protons) in the one molecule are exchanged to deuteriums, followed by positional identification of the exchangeable hydrogens (protons) which are located on this molecule within 10 angstrom (Å) from hydrogen (s) (proton(s)) in a neighboring biomolecule in the complex and are cross-saturated by cross-saturation phenomena through the interface in the complex. Using the inventive method, the contact interfaces of biomolecular complex such as protein—protein complexes can be identified more accurately and easily than traditional methods.
