Shining light on protein dynamics at Emory University since 2009
Bioinformatics Tools
Genomics/Proteomics
Biological General Repository for Interaction Datasets: is an interaction repository with data compiled through comprehensive curation efforts. All data are freely provided via search index and available for download in standardized formats.
ENCODE: international collaboration of research groups, goal is to build a comprehensive parts list of functional elements in the human genome, including elements that act at the protein and RNA levels, and regulatory elements that control cells and circumstances in which a gene is active.
Disulfide by Design: application for the rational design of disulfide bonds in proteins. For a given protein structural model, all residue pairs are rapidly assessed for proximity and geometry consistent with disulfide formation – assuming the residues were mutated to cysteines
HMMER: biosequence analysis using profile hidden Markov models
Phobius: transmembrane topology and signal peptide predictor, FASTA input
Naccess: calculates the accessible area of a molecule from a PDB (Protein Data Bank) format file. It can calculate the atomic and residue accessibilities for both proteins and nucleic acids.
FATCAT: structure alignment is formulated as the AFPs (aligned fragment pairs) chaining process allowing at most t twists, and the flexible structure alignment is transformed into a rigid structure alignment when t is forced to be 0.
