Ontologies for proteomics - - Towards a systematic definition of structure & function that scales to the genome level : Lan Ning 1 , Gaetano
A principle aim of structural and functional genomics is to elucidate the structures and functions of all the gene products in the genome. However, to adequately comprehend and analyze such a large amount of information we need new descriptions of proteins that scale to the genomic level. In short, we need a unified ontology for proteomics. Here we review progress towards this end, surveying th...
متن کاملProtein folds and protein folding.
The classification of protein folds is necessarily based on the structural elements that distinguish domains. Classification of protein domains consists of two problems: the partition of structures into domains and the classification of domains into sets of similar structures (or folds). Although similar topologies may arise by convergent evolution, the similarity of their respective folding pa...
متن کاملStructural Characteristics of Novel Protein Folds
Folds are the basic building blocks of protein structures. Understanding the emergence of novel protein folds is an important step towards understanding the rules governing the evolution of protein structure and function and for developing tools for protein structure modeling and design. We explored the frequency of occurrences of an exhaustively classified library of supersecondary structural ...
متن کاملTowards Discovering Structural Signatures of Protein Folds Based on Logical Hidden Markov Models
With the growing number of determined protein structures and the availability of classification schemes, it becomes increasingly important to develop computer methods that automatically extract structural signatures for classes of proteins. In this paper, we introduce and apply a new Machine Learning technique, Logical Hidden Markov Models (LOHMMs), to the task of finding structural signatures ...
متن کاملthe effect of isoproterenol on protein electrophoretic pattern of rabbit salivary Glands
Isoproterenol is a potent B-adrenergic agonist which its effect on rabbit salivary Glands has been studied in this research.two groups of male albino rabbits(five in each group with the mean weight of 1000+_300 gr) were injected with 20 mg/kg of isoproterenol intrapritoneally each day for fifteen days and one similar group(n=5) was chosen as control group.in one of the test groups in addition ...
