THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 23,2022. Friend is a bioinformatics application designed for simultaneous analysis and visualization of multiple structures and sequences of proteins and/or DNA/RNA. The application provides basic functionalities such as: structure visualization with different rendering and coloring, sequence alignment, and simple phylogeny analysis, along with a number of extended features to perform more complex analyses of sequence structure relationships, including: structural alignment of proteins, investigation of specific interaction motifs, studies of protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, and protein super-families. Friend is also useful for the functional annotation of proteins, protein modeling, and protein folding studies. Friend provides three levels of usage; 1) an extensive GUI for a scientist with no programming experience, 2) a command line interface for scripting for a scientist with some programming experience, and 3) the ability to extend Friend with user written libraries for an experienced programmer. The application is linked and communicates with local and remote sequence and structure databases.

Complete siRNA target database, complete Peptide-Antigen target database and a Kinase-Phosphatase database. They have also developed the largest database of illustrated signal transduction pathways, which are interconnected to their extensive protein database and online gene / protein analysis tools. The interactive web-based databases and software help life-scientists understand the complexity of systems biology. Systems biology efforts focus on understanding cellular networks, protein interactions involved in cell signaling, mechanisms of cell survival and apoptosis leading to development or identification of drug candidates against a variety of diseases. In the post-genomic era, one of the major concerns for life-science researchers is the organization of gene / protein data. Protein Lounge has met this concern by organizing all necessary data about genes / proteins into one portal.

Database that provides access to biological systems and their component genes, proteins, and small molecules, as well as literature describing those biosystems and other related data throughout Entrez. A biosystem, or biological system, is a group of molecules that interact directly or indirectly, where the grouping is relevant to the characterization of living matter. BioSystem records list and categorize components, such as the genes, proteins, and small molecules involved in a biological system. The companion FLink tool, in turn, allows you to input a list of proteins, genes, or small molecules and retrieve a ranked list of biosystems. A number of databases provide diagrams showing the components and products of biological pathways along with corresponding annotations and links to literature. This database was developed as a complementary project to (1) serve as a centralized repository of data; (2) connect the biosystem records with associated literature, molecular, and chemical data throughout the Entrez system; and (3) facilitate computation on biosystems data. The NCBI BioSystems Database currently contains records from several source databases: KEGG, BioCyc (including its Tier 1 EcoCyc and MetaCyc databases, and its Tier 2 databases), Reactome, the National Cancer Institute's Pathway Interaction Database, WikiPathways, and Gene Ontology (GO). It includes several types of records such as pathways, structural complexes, and functional sets, and is desiged to accomodate other record types, such as diseases, as data become available. Through these collaborations, the BioSystems database facilitates access to, and provides the ability to compute on, a wide range of biosystems data. If you are interested in depositing data into the BioSystems database, please contact them.

An ontological representation of protein-related entities by explicitly defining them and showing the relationships between them. Each PRO term represents a distinct class of entities (including specific modified forms, orthologous isoforms, and protein complexes) ranging from the taxon-neutral to the taxon-specific. The ontology has a meta-structure encompassing three areas: proteins based on evolutionary relatedness (ProEvo); protein forms produced from a given gene locus (ProForm); and protein-containing complexes (ProComp). NOTICE: The PRO ID format has changed from PRO: to PR: (e.g. PRO:000000563 is now PR:000000563).

It joins related bits of knowledge, currently distributed throughout various databases, into a consistent, easily accessible, and updatable resource. It currently covers over 155,000 protein sequences which come from more than 2,600 organisms. Overall more than one million single amino acid substitutions (SAASs) are referenced consisting of natural variants, SAASs from mutagenesis experiments and sequencing conflicts. SNPdbe offers the following pieces of information (if available) on each SAAS: * Experimentally derived functional and structural impact * Predicted functional effect * Associated disease * Average heterozygosity * Experimental evidence of the nsSNP * Evolutionary conservation of wildtype and mutant amino acid * Link-outs to external databases A convenient webinterface to query SAASs on the following levels is offered: * Protein and gene identifiers and keywords * Disease keywords * Protein sequence on different sequence identity thresholds * Variant identifier (dbSNP rs, SwissVar, PMD) or specific mutant like XposY and specified sequence They offer the possibility to submit protein sequences along with experimentally substantiated mutations in order to predict their functional effect and inclusion into our database.

The Synergizer database is a growing repository of gene and protein identifier synonym relationships. This tool facilitates the conversion of identifiers from one naming scheme (a.k.a namespace) to another. The Synergizer is a service for translating between sets of biological identifiers. It can, for example, translate Ensembl Gene IDs to Entrez Gene IDs, or IPI IDs to HGNC gene symbols, and much more. Unlike some other tools for this purpose, The Synergizer is simple and easy to learn. The Synergizer works via a web interface (for users who are not programmers) or through a web service (for programmatic access).
