In this review, we aim to highlight and discuss a number of strengths and limitations provided by these techniques and will show how using these characterisation methods to complement each other can provide a much better understanding of self-assembling systems.

A deep understanding of protein–protein interactions and their molecular interactions is important for a number of applications, including drug

Moreover, it will provide an examination of the different molecular interactions of PPIs and their role in protein
