Figure 1

Properties of measured protein-protein interaction networks. a. Table showing example proteins with their respective links when tagged as baits or preys [23]. m is the total number of preys linked to the given protein when it is a bait; n is the total number of baits linked to the given protein when it is a prey. b. Three experimental behaviors of a protein in an interaction experiment. The blue protein acts only to detect other proteins (a 'pure bait') but itself is not a prey; the green protein acts only to be detected by other proteins (a 'pure prey'), itself not functioning as a bait; and the red protein acts as both bait and prey. c. Schematic plot of network structure of an experimentally measured network. d. Pie chart for the three types of proteins, color-coded as in Fig. 1b, for the experimental protein-protein interaction data from yeast [23], Drosophila [20], and human [12].
