Protein-protein interaction (PPI) research is a field of study that focuses on understanding the complex network of interactions between proteins within cells. This area of research is important for understanding various biological processes, including signaling pathways, metabolic pathways, and regulation of gene expression. By studying how proteins interact with each other, researchers can gain insights into disease mechanisms, identify potential drug targets, and develop new therapies. Techniques used in PPI research include biochemical assays, protein crystallography, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics analysis.
