Scientific context

The first protein-protein interaction maps revealed a dense network of interactions with a high level of interconnections between nodes. Hence, phenotypes induced by the deletion of large regions of a gene bring about major perturbations that complicate the functional interpretation of a specific interaction. The functional dissection of an interaction network and the understanding of its molecular logic require a more local pertubation that breaks a specific interaction while keeping the rest of the network intact. For that purpose, one crucially needs new bioinformatic tools for predicting the site of the protein involved in the interaction. This is the aim of the STRIP project.
