A database for allergenic proteins and tools for allergenicity prediction.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 8
Abstract
The AllergenPro database has developed a web-based system that will provide information about allergen in microbes, animals and plants. The database has three major parts and functions:(i) database list; (ii) allergen search; and (iii) allergenicity prediction. The database contains 2,434 allergens related information readily available in the database such as on allergens in rice microbes (712 records), animals (617 records) and plants (1,105 records). Furthermore, this database provides bioinformatics tools for allergenicity prediction. Users can search for specific allergens by various methods and can run tools for allergenicity prediction using three different methods. AVAILABILITY: The database is available for free at http://www.niab.go.kr/nabic/

Molecular modelling of the TSR domain of R-spondin 4.
R-spondin 4 is a secreted protein mainly associated with embryonic nail development. R-spondins have been recently identified as heparin-binding proteins with high affinity. Proteoglycan binding has been associated with...
HIV reverse transcriptase: Structural interpretation of drug resistant genetic variants from India
The reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme is the prime target of nucleoside/ nucleotide (NRTI) and non-nucleoside (NNRTI) reverse transcriptase inhibitors. Here we investigate the structural basis of effects of drug-resistan...
Identification of sequence mutations affecting hemagglutinin specificity to sialic acid receptor in influenza A virus subtypes.
The attachment of the hemagglutinin protein of the H1N1 subtype of the pandemic influenza A virus to the sialic acid receptor Sia(α2-6)Gal has contributed to the ability of the virus to replicate in the human body and tr...
Structure-Activity relationship in mutated pyrazinamidases from Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
The pncA gene codes the pyrazinamidase of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which converts pyrazinamide to ammonia and pyrazinoic-acid, the active antituberculous compound. Pyrazinamidase mutations are associated to pyrazinami...
Structural prediction and analysis of VIH-related peptides from selected crustacean species
The tentative elucidation of the 3D-structure of vitellogenesis inhibiting hormone (VIH) peptides is conversely underprivileged by difficulties in gaining enough peptide or protein, diffracting crystals, and numerous ext...
