A collection of free, open-source model organism databases designed specifically to enable comprehensive, dynamic simulations of entire cells and organisms. WholeCellKB provides comprehensive, quantitative descriptions of individual species including: * Their subcellular organization, * Their chromosome sequences, * The essentiality, location, length, direction, and homologs of each gene, * The organization and promoter of each transcription unit, * The expression and degradation rate of each RNA gene product, * The specific folding and maturation pathway of each RNA and protein species including the localization, N-terminal cleavage, signal sequence, prosthetic groups, disulfide bonds, and chaperone interactions of each protein species, * The subunit composition of each macromolecular complex, * Their genetic code, * The binding sites and footprint of every DNA-binding protein, * The structure, charge, and hydrophobicity of every metabolite, * The stoichiometry, catalysis, coenzymes, energetics, and kinetics of every chemical reaction, * The regulatory strength of each transcription factor on each promoter, * Their chemical composition, and * The composition of its typical SP-4 laboratory growth medium. WholeCellKB currently contains a single database of Mycoplasma genitalium, an extremely small gram-positive bacterium and common human pathogen. This database is the most comprehensive description of any single organism to date, and was used to develop the first whole-cell computational model. Users can download the WholeCellKB source code and content to create and customize - including the content, data model, and user interface - their own model organism database.

http://www.bork.embl.de/j/

The main focus of this Computational Biology group is to predict function and to gain insights into evolution by comparative analysis of complex molecular data. The group currently works on three different scales: * genes and proteins, * protein networks and cellular processes, and * phenotypes and environments. They require both tool development and applications. Some selected projects include comparative gene, genome and metagenome analysis, mapping interactions to proteins and pathways as well as the study of temporal and spatial protein network aspects. All are geared towards the bridging of genotype and phenotype through a better understanding of molecular and cellular processes. The services - resources & tools, developed by Bork Group, are mainly designed and maintained for research & academic purposes. Most of services are published and documented in one or more papers. All our tools can be completely customized and integrated into your existing framework. This service is provided by the company biobyte solutions GmbH. Please visit their tools and services pages for full details and more information. Standard commercial licenses for our tools are also available through biobyte solutions GmbH. The group is partially associated with Max Delbr��ck Center for Molecular Medicine (MDC), Berlin.

http://noble.gs.washington.edu/proj/philius/

Web server that predicts protein transmembrane topology and signal peptides. Hidden Markov models (HMM) have been successfully applied to the tasks of transmembrane protein topology prediction and signal peptide prediction. They expand upon this work by making use of the more powerful class of dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN). Their model, Philius, is inspired by a previously published HMM, Phobius, and combines a signal peptide sub-model with a transmembrane sub-model. They introduce a two-stage DBN decoder which combines the power of posterior decoding with the grammar constraints of Viterbi-style decoding. Philius also provides protein type, segment, and topology confidence metrics to aid in the interpretation of the predictions.

http://www.proteopedia.org/

Free, collaborative 3D, interactive encyclopedia of proteins and other molecules, it collects, organizes and disseminates structural and functional knowledge about protein, RNA, DNA, and other macromolecules, and their assemblies and interactions with small molecules, in a manner that is relevant and broadly accessible to students and scientists. With a free user account, users can edit pages in Proteopedia. Click on the green links to change the 3D image or click and drag the molecules. Categories include Diseases & Related Topics, Enzymes, Gene Expression & Replication, Metabolism, Signaling & Transport, Structural Biology and Miscellaneous. Currently, Proteopedia has 93,912 articles (pages), and 2,366 registered users (May 2013). Among other pages, Proteopedia contains one page (or article) for every entry in the World Wide Protein Data Bank. Proteopedia is updated weekly with new entries shortly after they are released by the Protein Data Bank. Most of these pages, which are titled with a four-character PDB identification code, are seeded automatically to include a default view of the asymmetric unit, the abstract of the publication, green links to sites and ligands, and molecule-specific links to other viewers and databases. When you go to a random page, you nearly always get one of these automatically-seeded, PDB-code-titled pages (click Random Page in the navigation box at the upper left), because of their abundance. In addition to one article about each entry in the Protein Data Bank (PDB identification code-titled articles), there are articles titled with the name of a molecule or a subject, instead of a PDB identification code. Some of these articles that have substantial content are listed at Topic Pages, or you can browse a complete list of articles not titled with a PDB identification code. There are also articles About Macromolecular Structure.

Scientists at the Yates Lab at The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) rely on information yielded by tandem mass spectrometry to identify proteins from complex mixtures. Using this powerful technique, researchers draw upon a cross section of fields to increase the scope, sensitivity, and throughput of technologies for practical proteomics. Biologists provide the questions that drive our research. By identifying complexes that are poorly understood or organism-wide issues requiring further exploration, we gain a theoretical understanding of issues that are tractable only through proteomic strategies. Analytical chemists and biochemists improve our tools for revealing the proteins present in biological samples. Targets for optimization include the isolations used to obtain proteins, the steps to generate peptides from these proteins, and the separation of peptides en route to the mass spectrometer. Chemistry is vital to increasing power of proteomic technology. Computer science yields tools on two scales. First, the sequence corresponding to each peptide''s tandem mass spectrum must be identified. Once those identifications have been completed, additional tools are needed to summarize and organize these identifications.
