Utilization of primary and secondary structure elements to predict a protein's propensity to form amyloids.

Computational Molecular Biology

Computational prediction of protein subcellular locations in eukaryotes facilitates experimental design and proteome analysis. We provide a short review on recent development of computational tools and our experience in evaluating some of these tools. Classical secretomes can be relatively accurately predicted using computational tools to predict existence of a secretory signal peptide and to r...

Highlights and prospects of potyvirus molecular biology.

The potyvirus group [named after its type member, potato virus Y (PVY)] is the largest of the 34 plant virus groups and families currently recognized (Ward & Shukla, 1991). It contains at least 180 definitive and possible members (or 30% of all known plant viruses) which cause significant losses in agricultural, pasture, horticultural and ornamental crops (Ward & Shukla, 1991). These viruses ar...

Interactive molecular biology computing.

It is clear that the selection of the best possible algorithm for a computer program is essential for the creation of a useful tool. After this first step is taken, however, the usefulness of such a program may be greatly enhanced or impeded by the way it is implemented. We illustrate this point by describing our implementation of the well known FASTP/FASTIN algorithm in an interactive software...
