Although, surface complementarity is a key factor in complexes formation, physical-chemical properties also play an important role. Recently, the protein interface surfaces were rendered in 3D, and, over them, all the STING_DB physical-chemical properties could be painted, what greatly facilitated their analyses. In this work we propose an alternative way to visualize the protein interfaces. The 3D protein interface surfaces were modeled as Graphs and using the Shape Preserving algorithm, they were mapped onto the plane. This mapping introduce some inevitable deformation, nevertheless the local shape is preserved which is essential in the process of matching the corresponding regions in both surfaces. This matching task is almost impossible in 3D due the surface complexity in the space.  aBioinformatics  aMapa  aProteína  aBioinformática  aInterface de superfícies  aMapa bidimensional1 aYAMAGISHI, M.
