PPINs
PPINs, or Protein-Protein Interaction Networks, are a fundamental concept in systems biology and bioinformatics. They represent the complex web of interactions between proteins within a cell or organism. These interactions are crucial for various cellular processes, including signal transduction, metabolism, and gene regulation.
PPINs are typically constructed using high-throughput experimental techniques such as yeast two-hybrid systems, mass spectrometry, and
PPINs have several applications in biological research. They can help identify functional modules within the network,
However, PPINs are not without their challenges. The high-throughput nature of the data can lead to a
Despite these challenges, PPINs remain a valuable tool in systems biology, providing a comprehensive view of
