Abstract
In this paper we introduce the notion of protein interaction network. This is a graph whose vertices are the proteins amino acids and whose edges are the interactions between them. We consider the problem of reconstructing protein´s interaction network from its amino acid sequence. An ant colony approach is used to solve this problem.
