What does Expasy stand for?
Expert Protein Analysis System
Expasy was created in August 1993. Originally, it was called ExPASy (Expert Protein Analysis System) and acted as a proteomics server to analyze protein sequences and structures and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D Page electrophoresis).
What is Expasy tool used for?
Expasy provides information that is automatically aligned with the most recent release of each resources, thereby ensuring up-to-date information.
What databases are available via Expasy?
ExPASy databases include SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL, SWISS-2DPAGE, PROSITE, ENZYME and the SWISS-MODEL repository.
How do you calculate reading frame?
To identify an open reading frame:
- Locate a sequence corresponding to a start codon in order to determine the reading frame – this will be ATG (sense strand)
- Read this sequence in base triplets until a stop codon is reached (TGA, TAG or TAA)
What is Swiss-Prot database?
SWISS-PROT is a curated protein sequence database which strives to provide a high level of annotation (such as the description of the function of a protein, its domains structure, post-translational modifications, variants, etc.), a minimal level of redundancy and high level of integration with other databases.
How does ProtParam calculate molecular weight?
In protParam, the molecular weight of protein is calculated by the addition of average isotopic masses of amino acids in the provided protein and the average isotopic mass of one water molecule.
Why are there 3 reading frames?
Genetic code During transcription, the RNA polymerase read the template DNA strand in the 3′→5′ direction, but the mRNA is formed in the 5′ to 3′ direction. The mRNA is single-stranded and therefore only contains three possible reading frames, of which only one is translated.
Is SWISS-PROT and UniProt same?
Swiss-Prot (created in 1986) is a high quality manually annotated and non-redundant protein sequence database, which brings together experimental results, computed features and scientific conclusions. UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot is now the reviewed section of the UniProt Knowledgebase.
Who maintains SWISS-PROT?
SWISS-PROT (1) is an annotated protein sequence database, which was created at the Department of Medical Biochemistry of the University of Geneva and has been a collaborative effort of the Department and the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), since 1987.
How does ProtParam predict molecular weight?
Who created Swiss-Prot?
What is Compute pI/Mw?
Compute pI/Mw tool Compute pI/Mw is a tool which allows the computation of the theoretical pI (isoelectric point) and Mw (molecular weight) for a list of UniProt Knowledgebase (Swiss-Prot or TrEMBL) entries or for user entered sequences [ reference ].
What is the Direct3D compute pipeline?
The Direct3D compute pipeline is designed to handle calculations that can be done mostly in parallel with the graphics pipeline. There are only a few steps in the compute pipeline, with data flowing from input to output through the programmable compute shader stage.
Does Microsoft have a warranty on the Direct3D compute pipeline?
Microsoft makes no warranties, express or implied, with respect to the information provided here.] The Direct3D compute pipeline is designed to handle calculations that can be done mostly in parallel with the graphics pipeline.
