Despite the complete determination of the genome sequence of several higher eukaryotes, their proteomes remain relatively poorly defined. Information about proteins identified by different experimental and computational methods is stored in different databases, meaning that no single resource offers full coverage of known and predicted proteins. IPI (the International Protein Index) has been de...

The Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 genome is the fifth member of the Bacteroidetes/ Chlorobi group to be sequenced and the second Bacteroides fragilis strain. The Bacteroides fragilis NCTC 9343 genome shows considerable variation even within the same strain and ‘invertable promoters’ appear to regulate much of this variance in many surface-exposed and secreted proteins (Cerdeño-Tárraga et al., ...

Definition 1. A hybrid planning problem (HPP) 〈s0,Γ,A〉 is specified by an initial state s0 ∈ S, a finite goal set of constraints Γ, and a set of actions A. Definition 2. A finite sequence of actions (a1, a2, ..., am) ∈ A×A× ... is a solution to an HPP if and only if the corresponding sequence of states (s0, s1, ..., sm) ∈ S starting from s0 and recursively constructed using si = ai.eff (si−1) s...

specific variations in sarcoplasmic proteome influence beef color. Post-mortem aging is a common practice employed by beef industry for improving beef tenderness and palatability. However, the color attributes and sarcoplasmic proteome of beef muscles undergo changes during aging. The objective of this study was to examine the changes in the sarcoplasmic proteome profile of three differentially...

Protein turnover is a neglected dimension in postgenomic studies, defining the dynamics of changes in protein expression and forging a link between transcriptome, proteome and metabolome. Recent advances in postgenomic technologies have led to the development of new proteomic techniques to measure protein turnover on a proteome-wide scale. These methods are driven by stable isotope metabolic la...
