The application of the computational methods in protein-protein interaction study

Computational methods play an important role at all stages of the process of determining protein-protein interactions. Here, computational methods dealing with protein-protein interactions and interactionnetwork are discussed from five aspects: interaction databases with their construction and development;automated data mining techniques developed to extract information about interactions from the publishedliterature; computational methods used for the assessment of the results of high-throughput approaches;exploitation of the information provided by protein interaction networks for predicting functional features ofthe proteins; computational methods adopted for predicting protein-protein interactions.
