Synopsis

In the post-genomic era, the big challenge we face is to understand how proteins run their everyday job to keep an organism alive. Protein has long term considered to be the functional unit of the cell, however, proteins rarely act alone. Most proteins work in close relationships with their partners: protein interactions are really a central mechanism for the generation of biological regulatory specificity. Moreover, the precise dynamic behaviors of most proteins are regulated by reversible protein phosphorylation. Systems biology will be used to search for explanations, characterization and classification of the logical and informational modules that operate in cells, and to make sense of the huge amount of data to provide a comprehensive molecular description of biological processes. The powerful computational tools for data storage, integration, and comparison, will accelerate the investigation of the delicate networks of protein-protein interaction. This symposium aims to bring in the local scholars working on network biology to share their experience on this emerging theme.
