BSDB: the biomolecule stretching database
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe the Biomolecule Stretching Data Base that has been recently set up at http://www.ifpan.edu.pl/BSDB/. It provides information about mechanostability of proteins. Its core is based on simulations of stretching of 17 134 proteins within a structure-based model. The primary information is about the heights of the maximal force peaks, the force-displacement patterns, and the sequencing of the contact-rupturing events. We also summarize the possible types of the mechanical clamps, i.e. the motifs which are responsible for a protein's resistance to stretching.

Slowing down and stretching DNA with an electrically tunable nanopore in a p-n semiconductor membrane.
We have studied single-stranded DNA translocation through a semiconductor membrane consisting of doped p and n layers of Si forming a p-n-junction. Using Brownian dynamics simulations of the biomolecule in the self-consistent membrane-electrolyte potential obtained from the Poisson-Nernst-Planck model, we show that while polymer length is extended more than when its motion is constricted only b...
متن کاملasurvey of progress and problems in comparative molecular embryology
This report surveys data and interpretations presented by speakers in the Arthropod Session of the 1994 BSDB Spring Symposium. After a short review of phylogenetical aspects in premolecular insect embryology, the following topics are discussed: the ancestral germ type of pterygote insects, correlations between oogenesis and embryonic pattern formation, the universality or otherwise of bicoid as...

In this paper, we propose a novel method for morphological hierarchical segmentation. First, we review two state of the art methods: the quasi-flat-zones and the non parametric hierarchical watershed (waterfall algorithm). Then, we propose a novel method which is referred to as the nested homogeneous connections. All three methods have been applied and evaluated on the dataset of one hundred co...

BioM2MetDisease is a manually curated database that aims to provide a comprehensive and experimentally supported resource of associations between metabolic diseases and various biomolecules. Recently, metabolic diseases such as diabetes have become one of the leading threats to people’s health. Metabolic disease associated with alterations of multiple types of biomolecules such as miRNAs and me...
متن کاملSesterin as a biomolecule
Sestrins (Sesns), highly conserved stress-inducing metabolic proteins, are known to protect organisms against various harmful stimuli including DNA damage, oxidative stress, endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, and hypoxia. Sestrins regulate metabolism mainly through activation of AMP-dependent protein kinase (AMPK) and inhibition of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Sestrins also play a pivotal role...
