Protein Informatics and Cheminformatics — Chapter Summary

Protein informatics is the collection

Protein informatics is the collection of protein information using information technology. It helps identify the geometrical location of functional si

Protein data may include microscopic images

Protein data may include microscopic images of heat-denatured aggregates, proteins in solution, sequence data, crystal structures, interaction files,

Primary structure prediction includes isoelectric point

Primary structure prediction includes isoelectric point, extinction co-efficient, instability index, aliphatic index, and GRAVY value. ProtParam is us

Isoelectric point is the pH at

Isoelectric point is the pH at which the surface of a protein is charged but its net charge is zero. At this point, proteins are stable and compact. A

The aliphatic index is the relative

The aliphatic index is the relative volume of a protein occupied by aliphatic side chains such as A, V, I, and L. A very high aliphatic index suggests
