Deciphering Protein–Protein Interactions. Part I. Experimental Techniques and Databases

Abstract

roteins interact with each other in a highly specific manner, and protein interactions play a key role in many cellular processes; in particular, the distortion of protein interfaces may lead to the development of many diseases.To understand the mechanisms of protein recognition at the molecular level and to unravel the global picture of protein interactions in the cell, different experimental techniques have been developed.Some methods characterize individual protein interactions while others are advanced for screening interactions on a genomewide scale.In this review we describe different experimental techniques of protein interaction identification together with various databases which attempt to classify the large array of experimental data.We discuss the main promises and pitfalls of different methods and present several approaches to verify and validate the diverse experimental data produced by highthroughput techniques.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
