Enriching Traditional Protein-protein Interaction Networks with Alternative Conformations of Proteins

Abstract Traditional Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) networks, which use a node and edge representation, lack some valuable information about the mechanistic details of biological processes. Mapping protein structures to these PPI networks not only provides structural details of each interaction b...
