Proteins execute and coordinate cellular functions by interacting with other biomolecules. Among these interactions, protein-protein (including peptide-mediated), protein-DNA and protein-RNA interactions cover a wide range of critical processes and cellular functions. The functional characterization of proteins requires the description and mapping of functional biomolecular interactions and the identification and characterization of functional sites is an important step towards this end.
