THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented August 23, 2016. PDBfun is a web server for structural and functional analysis of proteins at the residue level. pdbFun gives fast access to the whole Protein Data Bank (PDB) organized as a database of annotated residues. The available data (features) range from solvent exposure to ligand binding ability, location in a protein cavity, secondary structure, residue type, sequence functional pattern, protein domain and catalytic activity. PDBfun is an integrated web tool for querying the PDB at the residue level and for local structural comparison. It integrates knowledge on single residues in protein structures coming from other databases or calculated with available or in-house developed instruments for structural analysis. Each set of different annotations represents a feature. Features are listed in PDBfun main page in orange. Features can be used for building residues selections.

Quertle is a biomedical search engine focused on delivering informative results to biomedical researchers using advanced linguistic technologies, along with an in-depth understanding of the biomedical field. Quertle''s friendly interface makes it simple to search and refine results. Using advanced semantics, Quertle finds quality results, not just long lists. And it hods: all of PubMed, a growing number of full-text documents, news, and more. Features: :- Find Relationships, not Just :- Focus on Core Concepts: Since Quertle searches for Relationships, all the terms in your query must be found together in a meaningful way. Thus, Quertle immediately gives you results with more relevance. :- Unleash the Strength of Power Terms: Use Power Terms to search for categories of objects. For instance, you can use Protein to search for any protein, rather than the occurrence of the term, protein. View all Power Terms. :- Search Full-text Documents: The Quertle search engine has been optimized to search full-text documents, including the Material and Methods section (but not the Bibliography). :- Use Real Biology & Chemistry Terms: Quertle recognizes capital TWIST as the transcription factor (not the verb), and capital NO as nitrous oxide(not a negative). So, use proper capitalization in your query, and you won''t be lost in a sea of irrelevant results. :- Look for the Quertle Difference on the Results Page : More relevant results : Easy filtering and breadcrumb tracking : Automatic identification of key concepts : Single-click access to PDFs of full-text documents :Keyword: Biomedical, Search engine, Database, Researcher, Linguistic, Technology, Semantic, Relationship, Protein, Biology, Chemistry, :

This resource has cataloged a total of 80 human hereditary diseases caused by mutations in protease-coding genes, which implies that more than 10% of the human protease genes are involved in human pathologies. They are classified in three groups: loss of function, gain of function, and an heterogeneous group including non-protease homologs (np), putative proteases, and hedgehog proteins with only autoprocessing activity. Type of inheritance is indicated by R (recessive) or D (dominant).

A database for facilitating the search for drug Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion (ADME) associated proteins. It contains information about known drug ADME associated proteins, functions, similarities, substrates / ligands, tissue distributions, and other properties of the targets. Associated references are also included. Drug absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) often involve interaction of a drug with specific proteins. Knowledge about these ADME-associated proteins is important in facilitating the study of the molecular mechanism of disposition and individual response as well as therapeutic action of drugs. It is also useful in the development and testing of pharmacokinetics prediction tools. Several databases describing specific classes of ADME-associated proteins have appeared. A new database, ADME-associated proteins (ADME-AP), is introduced to provide comprehensive information about all classes of ADME-associated proteins described in the literature including physiological function of each protein, pharmacokinetic effect, ADME classification, direction and driving force of disposition, location and tissue distribution, substrates, synonyms, gene name and protein availability in other species. Cross-links to other databases are also provided to facilitate the access of information about the sequence, 3D structure, function, polymorphisms, genetic disorders, nomenclature, ligand binding properties and related literatures of each protein. ADME-AP currently contains entries for 321 proteins and 964 substrates. ADME Class Based on their respective role of pharmacokinetics, ADME-associated proteins can be classified into four categories: A: This Category includes proteins involved in the absorption or re-absorption of drugs into systemic system. D: This category includes proteins responsible for facilitating the distribution of drugs from the systemic system to the target sites or away from the target sites back to the systemic system. Certain plasma proteins and intracellular binding proteins may alter free drug concentration by acting as drug storage depot. These proteins thus play a regulatory role in drug distribution and they are thus included in Category D. Based on their role in drug distribution, proteins in this category can be further divided into three groups D1, D2, and D3. The first group D1 includes transporters capable of transporting chemicals across membranes of various tissue barriers from the systemic system into the target sites. Blood-brain barrier and placenta barrier are examples of tissue barrier. Proteins in the second group D2 are responsible for transporting drugs back into the systemic system. Proteins in the third group D3 mainly function as drug storage depot. These include ligand binding proteins in plasma and intracellular proteins. M: Proteins in category M are drug-metabolizing enzymes. These enzymes can be further divided into two separate groups M1 and M2, according to whether the corresponding enzymatic reaction is phase I or phase II. E: This category E includes proteins that enable the excretion or presystemic elimination of drugs. Some proteins belong to more than one category: e.g. P-glycoprotein both limits intestinal absorption and excludes drugs from the brain back to the blood. It thus belongs to both Category E and D. For those proteins capable of transporting natural substrates without literature report of interaction with a drug, a postfix potential is attached to their respective classification to indicate that their specific role in ADME is yet to be confirmed. Use of ADME-AP for commercial purposes is not allowed.

THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE, documented on July 16, 2013. An annotated and searchable collection of protein sequences for the families of DNA-binding proteins. DnaProt maximizes family information retrieval and helps reveal the relationships within the various functional binding classes. This classification system, implemented in an web-based management resource, is available for online DNA-binding pattern search and specific DNA-binding record retrieval. The database contains 3238 full-length sequences (retrieved from the SWISS-PROT database, release 38) that include, at least, a DNA-binding domain. Sequence entries are organized into families defined by PROSITE patterns, PRINTS motifs and de novo excised signatures. Combining global similarities and functional motifs into a single classification scheme, DNA-binding proteins are classified into 33 unique classes, which helps to reveal comprehensive family relationships. To maximize family information retrieval, DnaProt contains a collection of multiple alignments for each DNA-binding family while the recognized motifs can be used as diagnostically functional fingerprints. All available structural class representatives have been referenced. The resource was developed as a Web-based management system for online free access of customized data sets. Entries are fully hyperlinked to facilitate easy retrieval of the original records from the source databases while functional and phylogenetic annotation will be applied to newly sequenced genomes.
