STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has introduced the Protein Interaction Browser, a new application available on SciVerse ScienceDirect. The Protein Interaction Browser allows readers to view and interactively explore protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks for all proteins in a scientific paper. The browser is currently available for the Elsevier-published journal FEBS Letters.
The global publisher collaborated with both the Department of Biology at the University of Rome, where the Protein Interaction Browser was developed, and the staff from MINT (Molecular INTeraction database), which contains protein-protein interactions expertly curated from the scientific literature. Elsevier is the first to incorporate this new technology into a journal.
The Protein Interaction Browser is one of the results of the Article of the Future project, which is designed to improve the readers' experience in all areas of article presentation SciVerse ScienceDirect, enriched content, and interoperability with external databases. The Protein Interaction Browser will be available for all other Elsevier applicable life sciences journals in the future.
