MOFOID--not only the protein modeling server.

MOFOID--not only the protein modeling server.

MOFOID is a new server developed mainly for automated modeling of protein structures by their homology to the structures deposited in the PDB database. Selection of a template and calculation of the alignment is performed with the Smith-Waterman or Needleman-Wunsch algorithms implemented in the EMBOSS package. The final model is built and optimised with programs from the JACKAL package. The wid...

IP Only Server

Present day servers must support a variety of legacy I/O devices and protocols that are rarely used in the day to day server operation, at a significant cost in board layout complexity, reliability, power consumption, heat dissipation, and ease of management. We present a design of an IP Only Server, which has a single, unified I/O interface: IP network. All of the server’s I/O is emulated and ...

M4T: a comparative protein structure modeling server

Multiple Mapping Method with Multiple Templates (M4T) (http://www.fiserlab.org/servers/m4t) is a fully automated comparative protein structure modeling server. The novelty of M4T resides in two of its major modules, Multiple Templates (MT) and Multiple Mapping Method (MMM). The MT module of M4T selects and optimally combines the sequences of multiple template structures through an iterative clu...

Eosinophil cationic protein is not only a distinctive eosinophil protein

We read with interest the article by Qiu et al (Thorax 2007;62:475–82). In this paper, neutrophils and eosinophils were identified using mouse anti-human neutrophil elastase and anti-eosinophil cationic protein (ECP), both monoclonal antibodies (mAbs). mAbs against ECP have been used to detect total eosinophils, but immunostaining techniques evidenced that the number of ECP cells was higher tha...
