  1. Prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) is a common precursor for the synthesis of five different Prostanoids via specific Prostanoid Synthases. The binding of this substrate with these Synthases is not properly understood. More...

    Authors: Padmapriya Paragi-Vedanthi and Mukesh Doble
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S51
  2. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short non-coding RNA molecules, which play an important role in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. There have been many efforts to discover miRNA precursors (pre-miRNAs)...

    Authors: Chih-Hung Hsieh, Darby Tien-Hao Chang, Cheng-Hao Hsueh, Chi-Yeh Wu and Yen-Jen Oyang
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S52
  3. An explosive global spreading of multidrug resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a catastrophe, which demands an urgent need to design or develop novel/potent antitubercular agents. The Lysine/DAP biosynt...

    Authors: Aarti Garg, Rupinder Tewari and Gajendra PS Raghava
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S53
  4. MHC/HLA class II molecules are important components of the immune system and play a critical role in processes such as phagocytosis. Understanding peptide recognition properties of the hundreds of MHC class II...

    Authors: Kalidas Yeturu, Tapani Utriainen, Graham JL Kemp and Nagasuma Chandra
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S55
  5. Biological processes in cells are carried out by means of protein-protein interactions. Determining whether a pair of proteins interacts by wet-lab experiments is resource-intensive; only about 38,000 interact...

    Authors: Thahir P Mohamed, Jaime G Carbonell and Madhavi K Ganapathiraju
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S57
  6. About 30% of genes code for membrane proteins, which are involved in a wide variety of crucial biological functions. Despite their importance, experimentally determined structures correspond to only about 1.7%...

    Authors: Hatice U Osmanbeyoglu, Jessica A Wehner, Jaime G Carbonell and Madhavi K Ganapathiraju
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S58
  7. As the size of the known human interactome grows, biologists increasingly rely on computational tools to identify patterns that represent protein complexes and pathways. Previous studies have shown that densel...

    Authors: Corban G Rivera, Rachit Vakil and Joel S Bader
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S61
  8. Complex human diseases are often caused by multiple mutations, each of which contributes only a minor effect to the disease phenotype. To study the basis for these complex phenotypes, we developed a network-ba...

    Authors: Michael R Mehan, Juan Nunez-Iglesias, Chao Dai, Michael S Waterman and Xianghong Jasmine Zhou
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S62
  9. Conserved gene clusters are groups of genes that are located close to one another in the genomes of several species. They tend to code for proteins that have a functional interaction. The identification of conser...

    Authors: Melvin Zhang and Hon Wai Leong
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S63
  10. Use of alternative gene promoters that drive widespread cell-type, tissue-type or developmental gene regulation in mammalian genomes is a common phenomenon. Chromatin immunoprecipitation methods coupled with D...

    Authors: Ravi Gupta, Priyankara Wikramasinghe, Anirban Bhattacharyya, Francisco A Perez, Sharmistha Pal and Ramana V Davuluri
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2010 11(Suppl 1):S65
