BrainSnail: a dynamic information display system for the sciences.
Journal Title: Bioinformation - Year 2009, Vol 3, Issue 7
Abstract
Scientific reference management has become crucial in rapidly expanding fields of biology. Many of the reference management systems currently employed are reference centric and not object/process focused. BrainSnail is a reference management/knowledge representation application that tries to bridge disconnect between subject and reference in the fields of neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy and neurophysiology. BrainSnail has been developed with considering both individual researcher and research group efforts.
Silkworm nucleotide databases--current trends and future prospects.
The domesticated silkworm, Bombyx mori serves as an ideal representative of lepidopteran species for a variety of scientific studies. As a result, databases have been created to organize information pertaining to the sil...
Modeling of pyruvate decarboxylases from ethanol producing bacteria.
Pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) is a key enzyme in homoethanol fermentation process, which decarboxylates 2-keto acid pyruvate into acetaldehyde and carbon dioxide. PDC enzymes from potential ethanol-producing bacteria such...
Docking of human rhodopsin mutant (Gly90ÆAsp) with beta-arrestin and cyanidin 3-rutinoside to cure night blindness
Motivation: Rhodopsin is a visual pigment present in rod cells of retina. It belongs to GPCR family and involves photoisomerization of 11-cis-retinal to all-trans-retinal isomers, conformational changes in rhodopsin and...
