It is well-known that proteins are the cornerstone of life and play a key role in all biological processes. Therefore, understanding how they interact with the environment is critical to developing effective treatments and designing the basis for artificial cells. Recently, the Protein Design and Immune Engineering Laboratory (LPDI) of the Institute of Bioengineering at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), in collaboration with the Institute of Computational Science…

Novel Approach for Identifying Protein Interaction Was Found
Protein interaction refers to intentional physical contacts established between tow or more proteins as a result of biochemical events or electrostatic forces. There are a multitude of methods to detect protein interaction. And the most widely used methods are yeast two-hybrid screening and affinity purification. Each of the approaches has its own strengths and weakness with regard to the sensitivity and specificity of the method, reliably validating these techniques presents…
