Protein-protein interactions, commonly known as PPIs, are of utmost importance in various biological processes, including but not limited to signal transduction, gene expression, and metabolic pathways. The complexity and sheer significance of PPIs require us to comprehend them in their entirety to unravel the mechanisms underlying these processes and generate innovative drugs for treating diseases….
Multimeric protein complexes are essential components of many cellular processes. These complexes consist of multiple proteins that work together to perform specific functions. To better understand these complexes, researchers use various techniques to identify and characterize the individual proteins that make up these complexes. One powerful tool for studying protein complexes is tandem affinity purification-mass spectrometry…
Viral metagenomics is the study of viruses in environmental and biological samples by utilizing next generation sequencing that generates very large data sets. Viral metagenomics analyzes viral sequences to deduce the impact of viruses on the environment of human health. Unlike amplicon sequencing, metagenomics obtains and investigates genetic material directly from environmental samples, which has led to a new…
Microbes are present almost everywhere. They play a vital role in cycling carbon, release important compounds, and may be associated with infectious diseases. Metagenomics is the culture-independent genomic research of microbial communities. Metagenomics presents a powerful tool to study prokaryotes and viruses in the environment via the analysis of their DNA obtained directly from environmental samples. This…
