The analysis of protein-protein interactions is fundamental to
the understanding of cellular organization, processes, and
functions. Recent large-scale investigations of protein-protein
interactions using such techniques as two-hybrid systems, mass
spectrometry, and protein microarrays have enriched the available
protein interaction data and facilitated the construction of
integrated protein-protein interaction networks. The resulting
large volume of protein-protein interaction data has posed a
challenge to experimental investigation. This book provides a
comprehensive understanding of the computational methods available
for the analysis of protein-protein interaction networks. It offers
an in-depth survey of a range of approaches, including statistical,
topological, data-mining, and ontology-based methods. The author
discusses the fundamental principles underlying each of these
approaches and their respective benefits and drawbacks, and she
offers suggestions for future research.
