organization improved, and experimental evidence of predicted dependence on sensitivity is addressed
Scientific paper
The scale free structure p(k)~k^{-gamma} of protein-protein interaction networks can be reproduced by a static physical model in simulation. We inspect the model theoretically, and find the key reason for the model to generate apparent scale free degree distributions. This explanation provides a generic mechanism of "scale free" networks. Moreover, we predict the dependence of gamma on experimental protein concentrations or other sensitivity factors in detecting interactions, and find experimental evidence to support the prediction.
