    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2009 10(Suppl 8):S1
  2. A better understanding of the mechanisms of an enzyme's functionality and stability, as well as knowledge and impact of mutations is crucial for researchers working with enzymes. Though, several of the enzymes...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2009 10(Suppl 8):S2
  3. A protein annotation database, such as the Universal Protein Resource knowledge base (UniProtKb), is a valuable resource for the validation and interpretation of predicted 3D structure patterns in proteins. Ex...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2009 10(Suppl 8):S4
  4. The phenotypic effects of sequence variations in protein-coding regions come about primarily via their effects on the resulting structures, for example by disrupting active sites or affecting structural stabil...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2009 10(Suppl 8):S5
  5. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most frequent type of sequence variation between individuals, and represent a promising tool for finding genetic determinants of complex diseases and understandin...

    Authors: Anna Bauer-Mehren, Laura I Furlong, Michael Rautschka and Ferran Sanz
    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2009 10(Suppl 8):S6
  6. Human mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) variations have been implicated in a broad spectrum of diseases. With over 3000 mtDNA variations reported across databases, establishing pathogenicity of variations in mtDNA is ...

    Citation: BMC Bioinformatics 2009 10(Suppl 8):S7
  7. Linking structural effects of mutations to functional outcomes is a major issue in structural bioinformatics, and many tools and studies have shown that specific structural properties such as stability and res...
