PECAN
Full name: Paratope-Epitope Complexes for Antibody Networks (PECAN)

The PECAN dataset provides structural data for antibody-antigen interactions, specifically curated for paratope and epitope binding site prediction. It includes a diverse set of antibody-antigen complexes, ensuring a well-balanced and representative dataset for training and evaluating deep learning models in protein-protein interaction (PPI) tasks.

**Characteristics:**
- Focuses on **antibody-antigen binding site prediction**.
- Derived from high-resolution **X-ray crystallography** structures.
- Includes training, validation, and test splits.
- Used as a **benchmark dataset** in multiple antibody binding site prediction studies.

**Motivation and Use Cases:**
- Facilitates the development of deep learning models for **paratope and epitope identification**.
- Enables researchers to evaluate and compare methods for antibody-antigen interaction prediction.
- Used in **ParaSurf**, a deep learning framework that achieves state-of-the-art results on this dataset.
