Protein interactions
Encyclopedia
Proteins can interact with many types of molecules. Such interactions are related to their function and are therefore an object of study in molecular biology
, and of computational methods of prediction in bioinformatics
.
Protein interactions can be classified as:
Molecular biology
Molecular biology is the branch of biology that deals with the molecular basis of biological activity. This field overlaps with other areas of biology and chemistry, particularly genetics and biochemistry...
