Why do hubs in the yeast protein interaction network tend to be essential: reexamining the connection between the network topology and essentiality.

The centrality-lethality rule, which notes that high-degree nodes in a protein interaction network tend to correspond to proteins that are essential, suggests that the topological prominence of a protein in a protein interaction network may be a good predictor of its biological importance. Even thou...
