What is interactomics?

Interactomics is a field within biotechnology that focuses on studying the interactions between molecules within biological systems. This includes interactions between proteins, nucleic acids, small molecules, and other biomolecules. Interactomics utilizes various techniques such as protein-protein interaction assays, yeast two-hybrid systems, and computational modeling to understand the complex networks of molecular interactions that underlie biological processes. It plays a crucial role in elucidating signaling pathways, understanding disease mechanisms, and identifying potential drug targets.
