Mattaj outlines EMBL goals

The EMBL data library

The EMBL Data Library was the first internationally supported central resource for nucleic acid sequence data. Working in close collaboration with its American counterpart, GenBank (1), the library prepares and makes available to the scientific community a comprehensive collection of the published nucleic acid sequences. This paper describes briefly the contents of the database, how it is avail...

Proteomics: An introduction to EMBL-EBI resources Proteomics: An introduction to EMBL-EBI resources

Proteomics [2] is the large-scale study of proteomes. A proteome [3] is a set of proteins produced in an organism, system, or biological context. We may refer to, for instance, the proteome of a species (for example, Homo sapiens) or an organ (for example, the liver). The proteome is not constant; it differs from cell to cell and changes over time. To some degree, the proteome reflects the unde...

Outlines of Enzyme Chemistry

lesions tend to have relatively large numbers of tubercle bacilli present, whereas others tend to have very few. However, the variations in the number of bacilli found in any one type of lesion is often so great that the average does not give a true picture of the situation. In one instance, for example, a series of 19 lesions were studied in which the bacterial content varied from 0 to 20,000 ...

Outlines of General Psychopathology

This is a lucid and systematic exposition of the subject matter, relationships and aims of psychopathology. Dr. Malamud points out that though this science has a definite and special value in its own field, yet, as its close approximation to other branches of science, such as medicine, psychopathology and education, alone indicates, its ramifications are both complex and diverse. None the less,...
