Abstract
SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.
Abstract
Protein-protein interactions are central to every cellular process like DNA replication, transcription, translation, splicing, signal transduction and cell cycle control. To elucidate the function of a gene, we need to determine the function of the gene’s encoded protein product. Identifying the role of a protein needs understanding about the proteins that interact with each other for functioning of a particular biological pathway. Assessment about function of a protein can be made by understanding protein-protein interaction studies. These inferences are based on the fact that the role of unknown proteins may be elucidated if captured through their interaction with a protein target of known function. Thus in this chapter, we attempt to summarize different in vitro methods used to identify proteins- protein interactions and to assess the strengths of these interactions.
