UniProt is a freely accessible database of protein sequence and functional information, many entries being derived from genome sequencing projects.It contains a large amount of information about the biological function of proteins derived from the research literature.
The Center comprises a wide range of expertise and skills within research areas of disease systems biology, proteomics, high throughput protein production and characterisation, chemical biology, disease biology, and protein therapeutics. The Center also contributes to the progress of translational research within medicine and provide ...
First normal form (1NF) is a property of a relation in a relational database. A relation is in first normal form if and only if no attribute domain has relations as elements. [ 1 ] Or more informally, that no table column can have tables as values.
Human Protein Atlas (HPA [10]): a public database with expression profiles of human protein coding genes both on mRNA and protein level in tissues, cells, subcellular compartments, and cancer tumors. Legume Information System (LIS): genomic database for the legume family [11]
Examples of research in which knockout mice have been useful include studying and modeling different kinds of cancer, obesity, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, substance abuse, anxiety, aging and Parkinson's disease. Knockout mice also offer a biological and scientific context in which drugs and other therapies can be developed and tested.
The words protein, polypeptide, and peptide are a little ambiguous and can overlap in meaning. Protein is generally used to refer to the complete biological molecule in a stable conformation, whereas peptide is generally reserved for a short amino acid oligomers often lacking a stable 3D structure. But the boundary between the two is not well ...
An example protein interaction network, produced through the STRING web resource. Patterns of protein interactions within networks are used to infer function. Here, products of the bacterial trp genes coding for tryptophan synthase are shown to interact with themselves and other, related proteins.
The general purpose of the Pfam database is to provide a complete and accurate classification of protein families and domains. [5] Originally, the rationale behind creating the database was to have a semi-automated method of curating information on known protein families to improve the efficiency of annotating genomes. [6]
