The human genome seems to encode for not more than 30,000 to 40,000 proteins. A major challenge is to understand how posttranslational events, such as glycosylation, affect the activities and functions of these proteins in health and disease. The importance of protein glycosylation is becoming widely realized through studies on protein folding, protein localization and trafficking, protein solubility, biological half-life as well as studies on cell-cell interactions. The progressing Glycomics projects will dramatically accelerate the understanding of the roles of carbohydrates in cell communication and lead to novel therapeutic approaches for treatment of human disease. The MIT's magazine of innovation (January 21 2003) has identified Glycomics as one of the top ten technologies that will change the future. To support the upcoming Glycomics projects we [German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), Heidelberg] focus our research activities on the development of bioinformatic tools and databases for glycobiology. ...

Sequencing of the human genome has opened the way and provided the impetus for building a comprehensive picture of a mammalian cell. Significant efforts are underway in the fields of genomics and proteomics to identify all genes and proteins in a given organism. The goal is a complete map of the genes, gene products and their interaction networks in a functioning cell. The next step in establishing a comprehensive picture of a cell will be to tie the cell's metabolome into the rapidly developing genomic and proteomic maps. A cell's metabolome, however, is such an enormous and complex entity that characterizing it can only be approached in sections. This consortium is now proposing to focus on the lipid section of the metabolome by developing an integrated metabolomic system capable of characterizing the global changes in lipid metabolites ("lipidomics"). Our consortium has developed a Lipid Metabolites and Pathways Strategy, termed LIPID MAPS, that applies a global integrated approach to the study of lipidomics. ... [Information of the supplier]

Die "LipidBank" für das Internet ist demnach eine offene, frei zugängliche Datenbank der natürlichen Lipde inklusive der Fettsäuren, Glycerolipide, Sphingolipide, Steroide und der verschiedensten Vitamine. Die Datenbank enthält mehr als 6000 einzigartige molekulare Strukturen (im ChemDraw cdx oder MDL MOL Format), ihre Lipid Namen (gebräuchlicher Name, IUPAC-Name), Informationen über deren Spektren (Massen-, UV-, IR-, NMR- und weitere Spektren) sowie wichtige Literaturangaben. Die Datenbank enthält ausschließlich natürliche Lipide und wird manuell erstellt sowie redaktionell von Experten in dem Gebiet der Lipidforschung betreut. ... [Information des Anbieters, übersetzt]
Die an der Universität Hamburg gehostete Webpräsenz bietet einen Zugang zum Sammelwerk Landolt-Börnstein in Form eines als Datenbank gestalteten Inhaltsverzeichnisses. Auf die beim Springer-Verlag elektronisch erhältlichen Volltexte wird verlinkt; der Zugang zu den Volltexten setzt eine entsprechende Lizenz voraus. Auch ohne lizenzierten Zugriff auf die Volltexte aus Landolt-Börnstein können umfassende Informationen zu chemischen Stoffen und ihren Eigenschaften abgerufen werden. Insgesamt werden 160.000 organische und anorganische Stoffe hinsichtlich Namen, Molekülstruktur, Chemical Abstracts-Nummer und anderen Identifiern dargestellt. Für viele Stoffe werden Crosslinks zu Derivaten angezeigt. ... [Redaktion vifabio]
Menschen empfinden zahlreiche chemische Verbindungen als bitter. Die Bitterheit eines Stoffes weist oft auf seine mögliche Giftigkeit und die Abneigung gegen Bitteres hilft, Giftiges nicht zu sich zu nehmen. Ein gut bekanntes Beispiel ist Strychnin. Einige andere bittere Stoffe, wie Koffein, sind genießbar und werden in großen Mengen konsumiert, während sie in hohen Dosen giftig sind. Die Zahl der bitteren Moleküle wird in die Tausende geschätzt. Aber was sind diese Verbindungen? Wie ähnlich oder verschieden sind ihre chemischen Eigenschaften? Agieren sie an den selben oder unterschiedlichen Rezeptoren? Ist es möglich, die Bitterheit eines Moleküls vorherzusagen? Um die Erforschung dieser verblüffenden Fragen zu ermöglichen, haben wir BitterDB gegründet, eine freie und duchsuchbare Datenbank von bitteren Stoffen. BitterDB enthält aktuell über 550 bittere Moleküle, aus der Literatur sowie dem Merck Index, und ihre zugehörigen 25 menschlichen Bittergeschmacksrezeptoren (ht2R). BitterDB bietet verschiedene Möglichkeiten, die bittere Welt zu untersuchen: Die Suche nach bitteren Verbindungen nach verschiedenen Kriterien und die Suche nach bitteren Molekülen mit ähnlicher Struktur zur angefragten Verbindung, BLAST von Bitterrezeptoren und mehr. ...

As Chairs of the Local and International Organizing Committees of the Plant Oxygen Group (POG) of Society for Free Radical Research-Europe (SFRR-E), we are delighted to invite you to attend the 11th International Conference on Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species in Plants. The conference will be held on July 17-19th, 2013, at the Warsaw University of Life Sciences-SGGW (WULS-SGGW) in Poland. The Warsaw University of Life Sciences – SGGW is the largest agricultural university in Poland. Its almost 200-years academic tradition and youthful charm along with the historic and modern buildings set in the greenery create one of the most beautiful campuses in the country. Warsaw is the capital and the largest city of Poland. The Royal Castle in The Old Town and many other notable buildings are symbols of its long and rich history. The Local and International Organizing Committees will do its best to make the conference scientifically valuable and socially enjoyable. We are looking forward to seeing you in Warsaw 2013! ...

The “Yeast Lipid Conference” (YLC) is an international scientific meeting held every second year (typically in late May) to promote free discussion between scientists working on or interested in all aspects of yeast lipids. The 12th edition of YLC will be held in Ghent, Belgium from the 20th till the 22nd of May 2015. It will start on Wednesday afternoon with registration followed by the opening lecture, and an evening reception. The following two days will be seminars by invited guests with some speakers chosen from submitted abstracts, poster sessions, and social events. This is the first time the conference will be hosted in Belgium and we are pleased that Ghent will be the location for this. All lectures will take place at the Faculty of Bio-Science engineering at Ghent University, which is located at walking distance from the historical city centre of Ghent. It is worth spending time before or after the meeting to discover this sparkling city and visit other points of interest in Belgium. ... [Information of the supplier]
