Q. Interactions between proteins can be predicted computationally by looking for sets of genes that occur as a _______

View solution

Q. Genes that are consistently part of the same operon across different, distantly related genomes are likely to be part of the same protein complex or functional process across all species.

View solution

Q. When comparing pairs of genes or sets of genes in different genomes for this purpose, it is not mandatory for the genes to be orthologs.

View solution

Q. Members of a stable complex are often co-regulated and thus will be detected by the method of Conservation of gene order.

View solution

Q. In a quantitative assessment of this method (Conservation of gene order) using the genome of the parasitic organism Mycoplasma genitalium as a benchmark.

View solution

Q. Conservation of gene order due to operon structure is _______ so interactions of proteins specific to eukaryotes cannot be detected by method of Conservation of gene order.

View solution

Q. An approach for predicting ______ to look for cases across a set of genomes where _____ are part of the same gene in one genome resulted in gene fusion method.

View solution

Q. Domains that are part of a multidomain protein are ______

View solution

Q. Due to the requirement for co-regulation as well as colocalization, the method is mostly limited to certain classes of protein-protein interactions.

View solution

Q. The phylogenetic profile method relies on detection of orthologs (or homologs, in a variation of the method) in a set of genomes.

View solution

Q. In the assessment of methods to predict protein-protein interactions, one third of such pairs were found to physically interact, and an additional third to belong to the same metabolic pathway or functional process.

View solution

Q. In the phylogenetic profile method for predicting protein interaction, presence or absence of orthologous genes is scored across a variety of genomes.

View solution

Q. Structural analyses on small sets of proteins have shown that the domains from a pair of families bind to each other with the same geometry in multi-domain proteins and in transient interactions.

View solution

Q. The most detailed experimental information about protein-protein interactions comes from three-dimensional structures.
