Conservation and restoration of fur objects made from keratin, which is also the protein that makes up skin, feathers, nails, hooves, claws, and horns. "The way I think a lot of people understand fur versus hair is in the density of follicles," says Ross McPhee, Curator of the Department of Mammalogy at the American Museum of Natural History. "So for fur-bearing animals—which were converted into coats and so-forth—people always wanted it to be something that was very dense, so there’s the idea therefore that fur is dense, and it certainly is in [the] kinds of fur-bearers that we use for this purpose. Whereas hair is not
Protein–protein interaction Known and Predicted Protein–Protein Interactions (STRING-db), and Unified Human Interactive (UniHI). The aforementioned computational methods all depend on source databases whose data can be extrapolated to predict novel protein-protein interactions". Coverage" differs greatly between databases. In general, primary databases have the fewest total protein interactions recorded as they do not integrate data from multiple other databases, while prediction databases have the most because they include other forms of evidence in addition to experimental. For example, the primary database IntAct has 572,063 interactions, the meta-database APID has 678,000 interactions, and the predictive database STRING has 25,914,693 interactions. However, it is important
