Interactions among proteins in a variety of organisms have been studied in Biology. We are trying to find some rules in the transformation of network of protein interactions, analyzing some mathematical models to compare those results to observed knowledges from real data in terms of geometric structure of the network. Protein network can be expressed by a graph consisting of 'nodes' (proteins) and 'links' (interactions) between nodes. Degree of each node can be defined by the number of links for the note. For a data of yeast S. cerevisiae, it is reported as ǩ ≥ 2.04 (Jeong et al. 2001). We study some mathematical models called 'network growth model'. In this model, the network consisting of nodes and links grows with a time-discrete stochastic process. In each time step, the duplication of node, the deletion and/or the creation of link stochastically occur, with the assumption such that the new node is appeared with the same links as the original one has. Depending on detail assumptions for link deletion and creation, a variety of models can be constructed, and have been studied in past. In our analysis for models, we focus the expected mean degree in the network with sufficiently large size. The results are compared to some knowledge from observations for real data. Considered the maturation process of protein network as a stochastic process, what features are required to the process? As a consequence of our study with a comparison to observed knowledge, it is implied that there could be two categories in terms of the network transformation accompanied by appearance of new protein in it. One is such that only local transformation can be allowed, while another can allow a global transformation. Theoretical study for the nature of transformation and diversification of protein network requires more sophisticated or systematic researches in future.
