Abstract:
Mapping protein-protein interactions in genome-wide scales revealed thousands of novel binding partners in each of the explored model organisms. Organizing these hits in comprehensive ways is becoming increasingly important for systems biology approaches to understand complex cellular processes and diseases. However, proteome wide interaction techniques and their resulting global networks are not revealing the topologies of networks that are truly operating in the cell. In this short review I will discuss which prerequisites have to be fulfilled and which experimental methods might be practicable to translate primary protein interaction data into network presentations that help in understanding cellular processes.
