Predicting protein-protein interactions from sequence using correlation coefficient and high-quality interaction dataset.

abstract：:In order to adapt to ever changing environmental conditions, bacteria sense environmental stimuli, and convert them into signals that are transduced intracellularly. Several mechanisms have evolved by which receptors transmit signals across the cytoplasmic membrane. Stimulus perception may trigger receptor dimerizatio...
