The Dali server is a network service for comparing protein structures in 3D. You submit the coordinates of a query protein structure and Dali compares them against those in the Protein Data Bank. A multiple alignment of structural neighbours is emailed back to you. In favourable cases, comparing 3D structures may reveal biologically interesting similarities that are not detectable by comparing sequences. If you want to know the structural neighbours of a protein already in the Protein Data Bank (PDB), you can find them in the Dali Database. The Dali Domain Dictionary is a numerical taxonomy of all known structures in the PDB - you can view the entire Dali classification by following the link to the Dali Domain Dictionary. ...

SEVENS summarizes GPCR (G-protein coupled receptor) genes that are identified with high accuracy from 56 eukaryote genomes, by a pipeline integrating such software as a gene finder, a sequence alignment tool, a motif and domain assignment tool, and a transmembrane helix predictor. This treats a larger data space (than that in currently available other databases), which should include not only the expressed sequences but also the newly identified sequences that cannot be detected by in vivo experiments, although they definitely exist on the genome sequence and are just waiting for the opportunity to express their functions. SEVENS can provides the infrastructure of general information of "GPCR universe" for comparative genomics. ... [Information of the supplier]
PTMCode is a resource of known and predicted functional associations between protein posttranslational modifications (PTMs). It currently contains 13 different PTM types in proteins from 8 different eukaryotic species. A total of 137525 sites and 401688 functional associations in 25764 proteins can currently be explored. ... [Information of the supplier]
dcGO is a comprehensive ontology database for protein domains. Domains are often the functional units of proteins, thus instead of associating ontological terms only with full-length proteins, it sometimes makes more sense to associate terms with individual domains. Domain-centric GO, "dcGO", provides associations between ontological terms and protein domains at the superfamily and family levels. Some functional units consist of more than one domain acting together or acting at an interface between domains; therefore, ontological terms associated with pairs of domains, triplets and longer supra-domains are also provided. At the time of writing the ontologies in dcGO include the Gene Ontology (GO); Enzyme Commission (EC) numbers; pathways from UniPathway; human phenotype ontology and phenotype ontologies from five model organisms, including plants; anatomy ontologies from three organisms; human disease ontology and drugs from DrugBank. All ontological terms have probabilistic scores for their associations. In addition to associations to domains and supra-domains, the ontological terms have been transferred to proteins, through homology, providing annotations of >80 million sequences covering 2414 complete genomes, hundreds of meta-genomes, thousands of viruses and so forth. The dcGO database is updated fortnightly, and its website provides downloads, search, browse, phylogenetic context and other data-mining facilities.

"Here we describe Foldit, a multiplayer online game that engages non-scientists in solving hard prediction problems. Foldit players interact with protein structures using direct manipulation tools and user-friendly versions of algorithms from the Rosetta structure prediction methodologyiv, while they compete and collaborate to optimize the computed energy."

We are pleased to announce that the XIXth International meeting on "Oxygen binding and sensing proteins" will take place at the University of Hamburg from Sunday, 11 September to Wednesday, 14 September 2016. The meeting will bring together researchers from the fields of biochemistry, biophysics, structural biology, physiology, genetics, and evolutionary biology working who work with any types of proteins that function in oxygen binding, sensing or processing. The meeting addresses researchers of all levels of their career, from students to professors. ... [Information of the supplier]
Over the last decade, the research field of metaproteomics has emerged to an indispensable tool in microbial ecology to identify the link between community composition and functional profile. The progress of this area is driven by technical developments in mass spectrometry and various DNA shotgun sequencing projects of environmental samples. The complexity of the samples and the non-trivial data analysis, however, represent serious challenges that hinder the whole field of metaproteomic research from moving forward and to tackle challenging research topics, e.g. in environmental or health sciences. In order to promote the scientific exchange in the community, this symposium covers the most important topics of metaproteomics. It is directed towards Postdoctoral researchers, PhD students, and other scientists with experience in related fields of microbiology who want to discover techniques of proteomic analysis. On the computational side, a half-day hands-on workshop is offered with guided tutorials for the MetaProteomeAnalyzer (MPA) data analysis software. The following topics will be covered during the Metaproteomics Symposium: Proteomics Workflow, Medical Applications, Environmental and Technical Applications, Bioinformatics and Modelling, Proteomics and Multi-Omics. ...

It is our great pleasure to announce the EuPA 2016 – X Annual Congress of the European Proteomics Association which will take place in Istanbul, 21-25 June 2016 at the Acıbadem University Conference Center, organized by Turkish Proteomics Association. We are happy to invite you to Istanbul / Turkey during a wonderful season where we aim to bring in the highest attendance to EuPA annual standalone congresses. In order to achieve this goal, the scientific committee is working hard on the congress program to bring in the most valuable speakers. Follow the speakers and program section of the website for regularly updated information. The social program will offer a unique Bosphorus Cruise Dinner, where you will enjoy the magnificent view of the sunset at the Bosphorus separating Europe from Asia, along with exquisite samples of Turkish Cuisine. There are numerous historic sites in Istanbul and wonderful locations for vacation in Turkey, so if you have not visited Turkey before we highly recommend to take a week off and wander the south of Turkey after the congress. EuPA 2016 Istanbul will be a refreshing event, where world renowned scientists, colleagues, friends, and industry representatives will find the opportunity to share the most up to date knowledge and network in a unique setting. We are looking forward to welcoming our community in Istanbul and experience a congress to remember. ... [Information of the supplier]
