Abstract
Protein–protein interaction networks have a crucial role in biological processes. Proteins perform multiple functions in forming physical and functional interactions in cellular systems. Information concerning an enormous number of protein interactions in a wide range of species has accumulated and has been integrated into various resources for molecular biology and systems biology. This chapter provides a review of the representative databases and the major computational methods used for protein–protein interactions.
