According to today's SCI-BYTE Functional organization of the yeast proteome by systematic analysis of protein complexes - IS HOT! {Anne-Claude Gavin and 37 others, Nature, 415(6868): 141-7, 10 January 2002.] What does this mean? The abstract suggests "Comparison of yeast and human complexes showed that conservation across species extends from single proteins to their molecular environment. Our analysis provides an outline of the eukaryotic proteome as a network of protein complexes at a level of organization beyond binary interactions. This higher-order map contains fundamental biological information and offers the context for a more reasoned and informed approach to drug discovery"
