Databases for Protein-Protein Interactions

Natsu Nakajima et al. Methods Mol Biol. 2021.

Abstract

Protein-protein interaction networks have a crucial role in biological processes. Proteins perform multiple functions in forming physical and functional interactions in cellular systems. Information concerning an enormous number of protein interactions in a wide range of species has accumulated and has been integrated into various resources for molecular biology and systems biology. This chapter provides a review of the representative databases and the major computational methods used for protein-protein interactions.

Keywords: Computational methods; Molecular interactions; Protein interaction networks; Protein structures; Protein–protein interactions.
