ArachnoServer ( www.arachnoserver.org ) is a manually curated database providing information on the sequence, structure and biological activity of protein toxins from spider venoms. These proteins are interest to wide range biologists due their diverse applications in medicine, neuroscience, pharmacology, drug discovery agriculture. currently manages 1078 sequences, 759 nucleic acid sequences 56 structures. Key features include molecular target ontology designed specifically for venom...
Abstract Summary ArachnoServer is a manually curated database that consolidates information on the sequence, structure, function and pharmacology of spider-venom toxins. Although spider venoms are complex chemical arsenals, primary constituents small disulfide-bridged peptides target neuronal ion channels receptors. Due to their high potency selectivity, these have been developed as pharmacological tools, bioinsecticides drug leads. A new version (v3.0) has includes bioinformatics pipeline...

Time course 'omics' experiments are becoming increasingly important to study system-wide dynamic regulation. Despite their high information content, analysis remains challenging. 'Omics' technologies capture quantitative measurements on tens of thousands molecules. Therefore, in a time experiment molecules measured for multiple subjects over points. This results large, high-dimensional dataset, which requires computationally efficient approaches statistical analysis. Moreover, methods need...
Abstract This paper reports a comparison of calculated molecular properties and 2D fragment bit‐strings when used for the selection structurally diverse subsets file 44295 compounds. MaxMin dissimilarity‐based k ‐means cluster‐based are to select containing between 1% 20% file. Investigation numbers bioactive molecules in selected suggest: that noticeably superior subsets; property‐based descriptors marginally fragment‐based descriptors; both approaches random selection.
Natural products are universally recognized to contribute valuable chemical diversity the design of molecular screening libraries. The analysis undertaken in this work, provides a foundation for generation fragment libraries that capture diverse range recognition building blocks embedded within natural products. Physicochemical properties were used select fragment-sized from database known (Dictionary Products). PCA was illustrate positioning subset property space non-fragment sized dataset....

The black Périgord truffle (Tuber melanosporum Vittad.) is a highly prized food today, with its unique scent (i.e., perfume) and texture. Despite these attributes, it remains relatively poorly studied, lacking "omics" information to characterize biology biochemistry, especially changes associated freshness the proteins/metabolites responsible for organoleptic properties. In this study, we have functionally annotated proteome from 2010 T. genome comprising 12 771 putative nonredundant...
Orientations of the deazapterin ring and conformational preferences groups appended to in a set 8-substituted cations docked into dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) binding site have been investigated using methodology based on simulated annealing technique within molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Of five possible pockets for 8-substituents, identified from preliminary manual docking study, one has definitively eliminated after an analysis MD trajectories, while another remains uncertain....
Malaria, caused by Plasmodium parasites, results in >400,000 deaths annually. There is no effective vaccine, and new drugs with novel modes of action are needed because increasing parasite resistance to current antimalarials. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) epigenetic regulatory enzymes that catalyze post-translational protein deacetylation promising malaria drug targets. Here, we describe quantitative structure–activity relationship models predict the antiplasmodial activity hydroxamate-based...

Neisseria meningitidis, a common cause of sepsis and bacterial meningitis, infects the meninges central nervous system (CNS), primarily via paracellular traversal across blood-brain barrier (BBB) or blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier. N. meningitidis is often present asymptomatically in nasopharynx, nerves extending between nasal cavity brain constitute an alternative route by which meningococci may reach CNS. To date, cellular mechanisms involved nerve infection are not fully understood....
The increased use of small-molecule compound screening by new users from a variety different academic backgrounds calls for adequate software to administer, appraise, analyse and exchange information obtained experiments. While spreadsheet solutions exist, there is need that can be easily deployed convenient use. Java application cApp addresses this aids in the handling storage on compounds. intended appraisal compounds with respect their physico-chemical properties, analysis relation...
