Abstract We present a new approach for aligning families of 2D gels. Instead of choosing one of the gels as reference and performing pairwise alignment, we construct an ideal gel t...
Background: Thermophilic organisms are able to live at high temperatures ranging from 50 to > 100°C. Their proteins must be sufficiently stable to function under these extreme...
Proteomics is a field dedicated to the analysis and identification of proteins within an organism. Within proteomics, two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) is currently unrivalle...
Background: Phylogenetic profiles record the occurrence of homologs of genes across fully sequenced organisms. Proteins with similar profiles are typically components of protein c...
Background: Identification of protein interacting sites is an important task in computational molecular biology. As more and more protein sequences are deposited without available...
Background: When proteins are subjected to proteolytic digestion and analyzed by mass spectrometry using a method such as 2D LC MS/MS, only a portion of the proteotypic peptides a...

Background: Protein interactions support cell organization and mediate its response to any specific stimulus. Recent technological advances have produced large data-sets that aim ...
Background: Protein structural data has increased exponentially, such that fast and accurate tools are necessary to access structure similarity search. To improve the search speed...
Background: A widely-used approach for discovering functional and physical interactions among proteins involves phylogenetic profile comparisons (PPCs). Here, proteins with simila...
: Functions of a protein are mainly determined by its structure. Surface cavities, also called pockets or clefts, are ordinarily regarded as potentially active sites where the prot...
