http://pbil.univ-lyon1.fr/databases/homolens.php

Database of homologous genes from Ensembl organisms, structured under ACNUC sequence database management system. It allows to select sets of homologous genes among species, and to visualize multiple alignments and phylogenetic trees. It is possible to search for orthologous genes in a wide range of taxons. HOMOLENS is particularly useful for comparative sequence analysis, phylogeny and molecular evolution studies. More generally, HOMOLENS gives an overall view of what is known about a peculiar gene family. Note that HOMOLENS is split into two databases on this server: HOMOLENS contains the protein sequences while HOMOLENSDNA contains the nucleotide sequences. Protein sequences of HOMOLENS have been generated by translating the CDS of HOMOLENSDNA and using associated cross-references to generate the annotations.

WebProAnalyst provides web-accessible analysis for scanning the quantitative structure-activity relationships in protein families. It searches for a sequence region, whose substitutions are correlated with variations in the activities of a homologous protein set, the so-called activity modulating sites. WebProAnalyst allows users to search for the key physicochemical characteristics of the sites that affect the changes in protein activities. It enables the building of multiple linear regression and neural networks models that relate these characteristics to protein activities. WebProAnalyst implements multiple linear regression analysis, back propagation neural networks and the Structure-Activity Correlation/Determination Coefficient (SACC/SADC). A back propagation neural network is implemented as a two-layered network, one layer as input, the other as output (Rumelhart et al, 1986). WebProAnalyst uses alignment of amino acid sequences and data on protein activity (pK, Km, ED50, among others). The input data are the numerical values for the physicochemical characteristics of a site in the multiple alignment given by a slide window. The output data are the predicted activity values. The current version of WebProAnalyst handles a single activity for a single protein. The SACC/SADC may be defined as an estimate of the strongest multiple correlation between the physicochemical characteristics of a site in a multiple alignment and protein activities. The SACC/SADC coefficient makes possible the calculation of the possible highest correlation achievable for the quantitative relationship between the physicochemical properties of sites and protein activities. The SACC/SADC is a convenient means for an arrangement of positions by their functional significance. WebProAnalyst outputs a list of multiple alignment positions, the respective correlation values, also regression analysis parameters for the relationships between the amino acid physicochemical characteristics at these positions and the protein activity values.

http://www.glycosciences.de/tools/carp/

Service that generates Ramachandran-like plots of carbohydrate linkage torsions in pdb-files. The Ramachandran Plot, where backbone torsion angles are plotted against each other, is a frequently used tool to evaluate the quality of a protein 3D structure. For carbohydrate structures, linkage torsions can be evaluated in a similar way. Preferred Phi/Psi values of the torsion angles of glycosidic bonds depend strongly on the types of monosaccharides involved in the linkage, the kind of linkage (1-3, 1-4, etc) as well as the degree of branching of the structure. CARP analyses carbohydrate data given in PDB files using the pdb2linucs algorithm. For each different linkage type a separate plot is generated. The user can choose between two sources for plot background information for comparison: data obtained from PDB provided by GlyTorsion or from GlycoMapsDB. GlycoMapsDB provides calculated conformational maps, which show energetically preferred regions for a specific linkage, while PDB data are based on experimentally solved structures. For seldom occuring linkages, however, PDB data are often rare, so maybe not sufficient background information for comparison will be available from this source., THIS RESOURCE IS NO LONGER IN SERVICE. Documented on September 16,2025.

A statistical framework for genomic data fusion is a computational framework for integrating and drawing inferences from a collection of genome-wide measurements. Each dataset is represented via a kernel function, which defines generalized similarity relationships between pairs of entities, such as genes or proteins. The kernel representation is both flexible and efficient, and can be applied to many different types of data. Furthermore, kernel functions derived from different types of data can be combined in a straightforward fashion. Recent advances in the theory of kernel methods have provided efficient algorithms to perform such combinations in a way that minimizes a statistical loss function. These methods exploit semidefinite programming techniques to reduce the problem of finding optimizing kernel combinations to a convex optimization problem. Computational experiments performed using yeast genome-wide datasets, including amino acid sequences, hydropathy profiles, gene expression data and known protein-protein interactions, demonstrate the utility of this approach. A statistical learning algorithm trained from all of these data to recognize particular classes of proteins--membrane proteins and ribosomal proteins--performs significantly better than the same algorithm trained on any single type of data. Matlab code to center a kernel matrix and Matlab code for normalization are available.

A package of over twenty mass spectrometry-based tools primarily geared toward proteomic data analysis and database mining. It can be run from the command line, but is primarily used through a web browser, and there is a public website that allows anyone to use the software without local installation. Tandem mass spectrometry analysis tools are used for database searching and identification of peptides, including post-translationally modified peptides and cross-linked peptides. Support for isotope and label-free quantification from this type of data is provided. MS-Viewer software allows sharing and displaying of annotated spectra from many different tandem mass spectrometry data analysis packages. Other tools include software for analyzing peptide mass fingerprinting data (MS-Fit); prediction of theoretical fragmentation of peptides (MS-Product); theoretical chemical or enzymatic digestion of proteins (MS-Digest); and theoretical modeling of the isotope distribution of any chemical, including peptides (MS-Isotope). Searches using amino acid sequence can be used to identify homologous peptides in a database (MS-Pattern); the use of the combination of amino acid sequence and masses can be used for homologous peptide and protein identification using MS-Homology. Tandem mass spectrometry peak list files can be filtered for the presence of certain peaks or neutral losses using MS-Filter. Given a list of proteins, MS-Bridge can report all potential cross-linked peptide combinations of a specified mass. Given a precursor peptide mass and information about known amino acid presence, absence, or modifications, MS-Comp can report all amino acid combinations that could lead to the observed mass.
