Protein Interactions

A fundamental guide to the burgeoning field of protein interactions

From enzymes to transcription factors to cell membrane receptors, proteins are at the heart of biological cell function. Virtually all cellular processes are governed by their interactions, with one another, with cell bodies, with DNA, or with small molecules. The systematic study of these interactions is called Interactomics, and research within this new field promises to shape the future of molecular cell biology.

Protein Interactions goes beyond any existing guide to protein interactions, presenting the first truly comprehensive overview of the field. Edited by two leading scholars in the field of protein bioinformatics, this book covers all known categories of protein interaction, stable as well as transient, as well as the effect of mutations and post-translational modifications on the interaction behavior.

Protein Interactions readers will also find:

• Introductory chapters on protein structure, conformational dynamics, and protein-protein binding interfaces
• A data-driven approach incorporating machine learning and integrating experimental data into computational models
• An outlook on the current challenges in the field and suggestions for future research

Protein Interactions will serve as a fundamental resource for novice researchers who want a systematic introduction to interactomics, as well as for experienced cell biologists and bioinformaticians who want to gain an edge in this exciting new field....
