Textul de pe ultima copertă

A large amount of structural data on biomacromolecules is available and the number of resolved structures is growing rapidly. This implies that we have an increasing opportunity to perform so far unprecedented analyses to obtain crucial biological insight. Biomacromolecular structural fragments such as binding sites or active sites, ligands, channels, pores, secondary structure motifs, etc., become very promising objects for these analyses because such fragments often serve as drug targets or drug templates, or substrate-specific pathways.
However, such analyses are very challenging due to their complexity and, consequently, also because they require application of a combination of different software tools. In this book, we describe individual steps necessary for analysis of biomacromolecular fragments and provide a lsit of software tools required to perform such steps. For each step, we also show corresponding web-based tools in detail and provide a few practical examples oftheir usage.

Caracteristici

Presents an overview of key steps in the analysis of biomacromolecular fragments and a corresponding list of current software tools for each step of the analysis. Provides detailed descriptions of selected software tools for individual steps including practical examples of their application (hands-on experience). Provides a thorough description of a molecular language for defining biomacromolecular fragments Includes a detailed description of how such a language can be integrated in the software used for biomacromolecular fragments. Features biologically relevant examples of the whole workflow for the fragment analysis (task definition - Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
