A database for allergenic proteins and tools for allergenicity prediction.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The AllergenPro database has developed a web-based system that will provide information about allergen in microbes, animals and plants. The database has three major parts and functions:(i) database list; (ii) allergen search; and (iii) allergenicity prediction. The database contains 2,434 allergens related information readily available in the database such as on allergens in rice microbes (712 records), animals (617 records) and plants (1,105 records). Furthermore, this database provides bioinformatics tools for allergenicity prediction. Users can search for specific allergens by various methods and can run tools for allergenicity prediction using three different methods. AVAILABILITY: The database is available for free at http://www.niab.go.kr/nabic/
Specific gene hypomethylation and cancer: new insights into coding region feature trends.
Giving coding region structural features a role in the hypomethylation of specific genes, the occurrence of G+C content, CpG islands, repeat and retrotransposable elements in demethylated genes related to cancer has been...
Recognition of protein complexation based on hydrophobicity distribution.
The identification of the surface area able to generate the protein-protein complexation ligand and ion ligation is critical for the recognition of the biological function of particular proteins. The technique based on t...
Recent trends in remote homology detection: an Indian Medley.
The development of remote homology detection methods is a challenging area in Bioinformatics. Sequence analysis-based approaches that address this problem have employed the use of profiles, templates and Hidden Markov Mo...
Molecular modelling of the TSR domain of R-spondin 4.
R-spondin 4 is a secreted protein mainly associated with embryonic nail development. R-spondins have been recently identified as heparin-binding proteins with high affinity. Proteoglycan binding has been associated with...
