My prediction: We can find a subset of proteins such that they do not interfere with each other, and still large enough that they can perform useful functions.
The tiny, tiny amount of bioinformatics knowledge I have makes me think the probability of your prediction is ~ 0.00000000000001%. For non-trivial values of "useful". :)
Can you tell me what experience or knowledge lead you to make that prediction?
Biological systems are highly coupled but also very "fault" tolerant if manipulated at the right pivot points. That's why you can move a fly leg from the torso to the head by just manipulating a few transcription factors.
Now I feel bad, maybe I should have voiced it in a way that sounded less sure. I base it on two things. 1. Similar genes do similar things in different species. 2. There are an incredible amount of possible proteins.
