DeepView – Swiss-PdbViewer (or SPDBV) is an bioinformatics application that provides a user friendly graphical interface allowing to view and analyze protein and nucleic acid structure. This program is associated with Swiss-Model (an automated homology modeling server running in the Geneva Glaxo Welcome Experimental Research), accessible via the ExPASy web server. Through this application, proteins can be superimposed in order to deduce structural alignments and compare their active sites or any other relevant parts. Amino acid mutations, H-bonds, angles and distances between atoms are easy to obtain thanks to the intuitive graphic and menu interface. Read the rest of this entry »

Experimental structure determination involves difficult methods that require a significant amount of expertise and resources. Protein Modeling on the other hand enables access to sensible structural models in much shorter periods of time. The major aim of protein modeling is the prediction of a protein’s tertiary structure from its primary structure. To this end a diverse range of approaches have been developed comparative, de novo or ab initio structure prediction.

Bioinformatics derives knowledge from computer analysis of biological data. These can consist of the information stored in the genetic code, but also experimental results from various sources, patient statistics, and scientific literature. Research in bioinformatics includes method development for storage, retrieval, and analysis of the data. Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing branch of biology and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and concepts from informatics, statistics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and linguistics. It has many practical applications in different areas of biology and medicine.
