Bioinformatics Resources and Tools for Conformational B-Cell Epitope Prediction
Identification of epitopes which invoke strong humoral responses is an essential issue in the field of immunology. Localizing epitopes by experimental methods is expensive in terms of time, cost, and effort; therefore, computational methods feature for its low cost and high speed was employed to predict B-cell epitopes. In this paper, we review the recent advance of bioinformatics resources and...
متن کاملdevelopment and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle
in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...
15 صفحه اولApplying bioinformatics for antibody epitope prediction using affinity-selected mimotopes – relevance for vaccine design
To properly characterize protective polyclonal antibody responses, it is necessary to examine epitope specificity. Most antibody epitopes are conformational in nature and, thus, cannot be identified using synthetic linear peptides. Cyclic peptides can function as mimetics of conformational epitopes (termed mimotopes), thereby providing targets, which can be selected by immunoaffinity purificati...
متن کاملEvaluation of ontology development tools for bioinformatics
Ontologies are being used nowadays in many areas, including bioinformatics. To assist users in developing and maintaining ontologies a number of tools have been developed. In this paper we compare four such tools, Protégé-2000, Chimaera, DAG-Edit and OilEd. As test ontologies we have used ontologies from the Gene Ontology Consortium. No system is preferred in all situations, but each system has...
متن کاملOverView of Protein Structure Prediction in Bioinformatics
rotein structure prediction from a sequence is one of the high focus problems for researchers.This is a very useful application of bioinformatics as the experimental techniques like X-ray crystallography are time consuming.The fundamental issue is how can we predict the 3-D shape of a protein from its amino acid sequence. In this paper we will learn how to predict protein structure and function...
