Protein–protein interaction (PPI) is one of the key regulatory features driving biomolecular processes and hence targeted for designing therapeutics against diseases. Small peptides are a new emerging class owing to their high specificity low toxicity. For achieving efficient targeting PPI, amino acid side chains often stapled together, resulting in rigidification these peptides. Exploring scop...

Cliques (maximal complete subnets) in protein-protein interaction (PPI) network are an important resource used to analyze protein complexes and functional modules. Clique-based methods of predicting PPI complement the data defection from biological experiments. However, clique-based predicting methods only depend on the topology of network. The false-positive and false-negative interactions in ...

Network medicine, the field of using biological networks to develop insight into disease and medicine, is a budding area of research where current efforts have been rewarded with only a middling level of success. Various network models have been proposed to help advise and direct medical research; this paper explores the possible utility of the ”interaction-interaction” (II) network model by ad...

MOTIVATION Understanding principles of cellular organization and function can be enhanced if we detect known and predict still undiscovered protein complexes within the cell's protein-protein interaction (PPI) network. Such predictions may be used as an inexpensive tool to direct biological experiments. The increasing amount of available PPI data necessitates an accurate and scalable approach t...

aim : evaluation of biological characteristics of 13 identified proteins of patients with cirrhotic liver disease is the main aim of this research.   background : in clinical usage, liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosis of hepatic fibrosis. evaluation and confirmation of liver fibrosis stages and severity of chronic diseases require a precise and noninvasive biomarkers. since the...

the binding of drugs by plasma proteins is an important phenomenon, because it influences the size of the free fraction of the drugs in plasma. in this study the influence of dipyridamole (dp) on the protein binding of propranolol (pl) and pl on the protein binding of dp were studied alone and in the presence of nicotine (nc).        the equilibrium dialysis was employed for protein binding stu...

Mining Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) from the fast-growing biomedical literature resources has been proven as an effective approach for the identification of biological regulatory networks. This paper presents a novel method based on the idea of Interaction Relation Ontology (IRO), which specifies and organises words of various proteins interaction relationships. Our method is a two-stage...
