Abstract
Many complex networks such as social networks and computer show modular structures, where edges between nodes are much denser within modules than between modules. It is strongly believed that cellular networks are also modular, reflecting the relative independence and coherence of different functional units in a cell. In this paper we used a human curated dataset. In this paper we consider each module in the PPI network as ontology. Using techniques in ontology alignment, we compare each pair of modules in the network. We want to see that is there a correlation between the structure of each module or they have totally different structures. Our results show that there is no correlation between proteins in a protein protein interaction network.
