Interactome

The interactome is a comprehensive map of all the interactions between molecules, especially proteins, within a cell. Think of it as a network or web that shows how different molecules communicate, work together, or influence each other to keep the cell functioning properly. Understanding the interactome helps scientists see how cells operate, respond to changes, or how disruptions might lead to diseases. It's like charting all the conversations happening inside a cell, providing insights into the complex biological processes that sustain life.
