PolyQ: a database describing the sequence and domain context of polyglutamine repeats in proteins
The polyglutamine diseases are caused in part by a gain-of-function mechanism of neuronal toxicity involving protein conformational changes that result in the formation and deposi...

NAPS: a residue-level nucleic acid-binding prediction server
Nucleic acid-binding proteins are involved in a great number of cellular processes. Understanding the mechanisms underlying these proteins first requires the identification of spe...

MiCroKit 3.0: an integrated database of midbody, centrosome and kinetochore
During cell division/mitosis, a specific subset of proteins is spatially and temporally assembled into protein super complexes in three distinct regions, i.e. centrosome/spindle p...

Predicting the functions of proteins in Protein-Protein Interaction networks from global information
In this work we present a novel approach to predict the function of proteins in protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks. We classify existing approaches into inductive and tran...

Implementation of Force Distribution Analysis for Molecular Dynamics simulations
Background: The way mechanical stress is distributed inside and propagated by proteins and other biopolymers largely defines their function. Yet, determining the network of intera...

Classification of viral zoonosis through receptor pattern analysis
Background: Viral zoonosis, the transmission of a virus from its primary vertebrate reservoir species to humans, requires ubiquitous cellular proteins known as receptor proteins. ...

Outer membrane proteins can be simply identified using secondary structure element alignment
Background: Outer membrane proteins (OMPs) are frequently found in the outer membranes of gram-negative bacteria, mitochondria and chloroplasts and have been found to play diverse...

A discriminative method for family-based protein remote homology detection that combines inductive logic programming and proposi
Background: Remote homology detection is a hard computational problem. Most approaches have trained computational models by using either full protein sequences or multiple sequenc...
