Researchers have completed a massive survey of the network of protein complexes that orchestrate the fundamental processes of life.

In the journal Science, researchers describe protein complexes and networks of complexes never before observed -- including two implicated in the normal mechanisms by which cells divide and proliferate and another that controls recycling of the molecular building blocks of life called autophagy.
