Supplementary tables. Table S1 lists the positive set PPIs in more details than Table 1 in the text. Table S2 lists the top 10 attributes by F-score. Table S3 lists the potentially-druggable PPIs predicted by the SVM-based method in more details than Table 4 in the text. The 69 instances (42 PPIs) listed have the druggability scores of >9,000 by the SVM models using all attributes and >6,500 by the models using the top 10 attributes. Table S4 lists 9 small chemicals showing similarities to the hot spots of the SMAD4/SKI complex. File format, PDF.

Assessment of the druggability of the PPIs. For each positive or test instance, the druggability is assessed by the druggability scores (the numbers of times an instance was judged to be positive more than 9,000 times with the SVM models using all attributes and more than 6,500 times with the SVM models using the top 10 attributes).
