Article Grading: The following comments were left by the quality and importance raters: (edit · history · refresh · how to use this template) Changed rating to "high" as this is an overview of protein-protein interaction. The article needs to be expanded to include sections on common interaction domains, biological significance, e.g. homo- and heterodimer formation of transcription factors etc. - tameeria 22:27, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merge.

I am against merging this article with the one on Protein-protein docking. Protein docking is a bioinformatics method. Protein-protein interactions are an observable. But this article needs expansion.--Miguel Andrade 15:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Scope.

I think this article should be made more general. Currently it is focussed on mapping of protein-protein interaction networks. Protein-protein interaction are also important in structural biochemistry. For example, I believe the physico-chemical mechanisms (ie intermolecular forces) would be of interest here.

[edit] Sugiyama.

I dont think Sugiyama (layout algorithm) is force-directed. Can anyone check and edit? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.207.2.2 (talk • contribs) 2007-08-13T17:01:46

[edit] X-ray crystallography and NMR.

In my opinion this part still lacks information on X-ray crystallography and NMR, which are techniques to study protein-protein interactions. I'm not sure if you could call it detection methods, because they are more useful to study the details of the interaction. Perhaps a link to these subject is enough?

[edit] External links.

I wish to share with the users a link for a free access valid 7 days of a protein interaction knowledgebase kindly advise me on the same —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jkbioinfo (talk • contribs) 2007-11-05t12:12:28z

Post the link here, and if the editors of this article think it's useful they can add it. -- Jeandré, 2007-11-11t10:07z
