- Abstract
Protein-Protein interactions (PPIs) are vital for explaining the structural and functional architecture of the cell. To have a wider comprehension of the mechanisms, finding driver proteins that are vital for the control of the said network is a pertinent task in systems biology. Lately, it has become a strategy to find the smallest set of driver nodes to control the whole network. To apply on networks that are undirected, Nacher and Akutsu viewed this problem from the point of view of finding the smallest dominating set. Dominating sets are widely enriched with genes that are biologically central. Nacher and Akutsu found that the speculated driver proteins using the smallest dominating set model not only pass pertinent functional features but also control the whole network They classified the vertices into three types such as critical vertices that belong to every configuration, unnecessary vertices that do not belong to any configuration and intermediary vertices that belong to some configurations but not all. In this paper we explain the above and probe how various centrality measures such as degree centrality, betweenness centrality, subgraph centrality etc., help us to understand PPI networks.
