Line 53:
PPIP produces results that need biological verification and further exploration before the results can be used to cure diseases with new drugs or understanding.
The results are used heavily as a starting point for biological research where most of the metabolic pathway of interest is unknown.
Interperting the results of PPIP can be problematic because of the volumes of data generated therefore, the data is often organised in a hierarchical manner, or an [[interactome]]. The two best approaches are to simply display only one or two interaction links deep of a hierarchy at a time, the second is to assign the highly interactive (hub) proteins to be the roots of the interaction trees, creating groupings of functionally and spatially related proteins.
The main goal of [[proteomics]] is to predict the structures, interactions and functions of the proteins. Specific function is only found through interactions. The prediction of protein-protein interactions is of vital interest in proteomics.
