| الوصف: | An important goal of biological research is to explain and hopefully predict cell behavior from the molecular properties of cellular components. Accordingly, much work was done to build extensive “omic” datasets and develop theoretical methods, including computer simulation and network analysis to process as quantitatively as possible the parameters contained in these resources. Furthermore, substantial effort was made to standardize data presentation and make experimental results accessible to data scientists. However, the power and complexity of current experimental and theoretical tools make it more and more difficult to assess the capacity of gathered parameters to support optimal progress in our understanding of cell function. The purpose of this review is to focus on biomolecule interactions, the interactome, as a specific and important example, and examine the limitations of the explanatory and predictive power of parameters that are considered as suitable descriptors of molecular interactions. Recent experimental studies on important cell functions, such as adhesion and processing of environmental cues for decision-making, support the suggestion that it should be rewarding to complement standard binding properties such as affinity and kinetic constants, or even force dependence, with less frequently used parameters such as conformational flexibility or size of binding molecules. |
