Sensitivity analysis on protein-protein interaction networks through deep graph networks
To the best of our knowledge, the model proposed in this study is the first that allows performing sensitivity analysis directly on PPINs. Our findings suggest that, despite the high level of abstraction, the structure of the PPIN holds enough information to infer dynamic properties without needing an exact model of the underlying processes. In addition, the designed pipeline is flexible and can be easily integrated into drug design, repurposing, and personalized medicine processes.
