PROSIMAT

PRO-Simat is a powerful all-in-one web tool designed for analyzing protein interaction networks, exploring their dynamic changes, and facilitating pathway engineering. With access to an extensive integrated database comprising over 8 million protein-protein interactions across 32 model organisms and the human proteome, PRO-Simat offers a range of functionalities to enhance protein network analysis. These include

Pathway analysis: The tool incorporates GO enrichment and KEGG pathway analyses, enabling users to gain valuable insights into the biological significance of protein interactions. Network structure: Interactome and visualization features allow for a clear and intuitive representation of the analyzed networks. Pathway and protein design experiments from the oncolytic virus to a DNA storage chip or novel carbon-harvesting climate plants can easily be planned and studied.

Dynamics: A key feature of PRO-Simat is its integration of dynamical network simulation through the Jimena framework. This efficient simulation method accurately models Boolean genetic regulatory networks, providing simulation outputs that include a comprehensive analysis of the type, strength, duration, and pathway of protein interactions. Users can easily modify and analyze the effects of network modifications and engineering experiments within the tool.
