STRING database
The STRING database is a comprehensive platform that maps out known and predicted interactions between proteins. Think of it as a detailed social network for proteins, showing which ones work together or influence each other within a cell. These interactions are vital for understanding biological processes and disease mechanisms. STRING gathers data from experiments, computational predictions, and scientific literature, making it a valuable resource for researchers studying cellular functions and developing new treatments. Its goal is to help scientists visualize and analyze the complex web of protein relationships underlying health and disease.
