How to read this diagram
Each panel groups components by their annotated function. Dashed arrows connect functional processes; they do not assert a measured protein interaction or a complete biochemical reaction sequence. The component index below provides the exact reference protein records.
Reference annotation snapshot: 24 October 2026. Counts refer to selected annotated proteins in this diagram; categories overlap. They are separate from the book’s component-group counts and do not define a demonstrated minimum genome.
