The authors suggest two approaches to constructing hypotheses about the interactions of proteins on the basis of the results of tracking the changes in their levels during the studied biological process. The first approach is based on the use of machine mining of biological texts, which are freely available on the Internet. The second is related to the execution of database queries on binary protein-protein interactions . To specify the experimental context in obtained protein networks, filtering of the protein entities on the basis of needed ontology from database Gene Ontology was used.

We have investigated electrical and gas sensitive properties of gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNT) and carbon nanotubes modified by metal oxides (such as tin oxide and silicon oxide). Also we have find out that modification of CNT by metal oxides helps to improve film`s adhesion to substrate, decrease electrical resistance, recovery time, working temperature , enhance gas sensitivity in comparison with sensitive elements based only on CNT or metal oxides. Moreover experimental results showed that properties of composite material depend on concentration correlation of solutions. As a result we can get highest sensitivity of sensor element by choosing optimal relation between concentrations of solutions.
