Helix Segment Assignment in Proteins Using Fuzzy Logic

The automatic assignment of protein secondary structure from three dimensional coordinates is an essential step in the characterization of protein structure. <span style="font...

Donor gametes: anonymous or identified?

The practice of gamete donation has, until recently, been shrouded in secrecy. The stigma associated with infertility and, in particular, donor insemination has been the main factor contributing to this secrecy. Over the last 20 years, this secrecy and the anonymity of the gamete donors has been challenged. In the first instance, the challenge came from governments in some countries legislating...

Parallelizing Assignment Problem with DNA Strands

Background:Many problems of combinatorial optimization, which are solvable only in exponential time, are known to be Non-Deterministic Polynomial hard (NP-hard). With the advent of parallel machines, new opportunities have been emerged to develop the effective solutions for NP-hard problems. However, solving these problems in polynomial time needs massive parallel machines and ...

DNATCO: assignment of DNA conformers at dnatco.org

The web service DNATCO (dnatco.org) classifies local conformations of DNA molecules beyond their traditional sorting to A, B and Z DNA forms. DNATCO provides an interface to robust algorithms assigning conformation classes called NTC: to dinucleotides extracted from DNA-containing structures uploaded in PDB format version 3.1 or above. The assigned dinucleotide NTC: classes are further grouped ...
