Computational Large-Scale Mapping of Protein-Protein Interactions Using Structural Complexes

Abstract

Although the identification of protein interactions by high-throughput methods progresses at a fast pace, “interactome” datasets still suffer from high rates of false positives and low coverage. To map the interactome of any organism, this unit presents a computational framework to predict protein-protein or gene-gene interactions utilizing experimentally determined evidence of structural complexes, atomic details of binding interfaces and evolutionary conservation.
