ProKware: integrated software for presenting protein structural properties in protein tertiary structures.

Protein tertiary structure plays an essential role in deciphering protein functions, especially protein structural properties, including domains, active sites and post-translational modifications. These properties typically yield useful clues for understanding protein functions. This work presents an integrated software, named ProKware, that presents protein structural properties in protein tertiary structures, such as domains, functional sites, families, active sites, binding sites, post-translational modifications and domain-domain interaction. Using this web-based and Windows-based interface, users can manipulate and visualize three-dimensional protein structures, as well as the supported structural properties that are curated in the protein knowledge database. ProKware is an effective and convenient solution for investigating protein functions and structural relationships. This software can be accessed on the internet at http://ProKware.mbc.nctu.edu.tw/.

dbPTM: an information repository of protein post-translational modification.

dbPTM is a database that compiles information on protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), such as the catalytic sites, solvent accessibility of amino acid residues, protein secondary and tertiary structures, protein domains and protein variations. The database includes all of the experimentally validated PTM sites from Swiss-Prot, PhosphoELM and O-GLYCBASE. Only a small fraction of Swiss-Prot proteins are annotated with experimentally verified PTM. Although the Swiss-Prot provides rich information about the PTM, other structural properties and functional information of proteins are also essential for elucidating protein mechanisms. The dbPTM systematically identifies three major types of protein PTM (phosphorylation, glycosylation and sulfation) sites against Swiss-Prot proteins by refining our previously developed prediction tool, KinasePhos (http://kinasephos.mbc.nctu.edu.tw/). Solvent accessibility and secondary structure of residues are also computationally predicted and are mapped to the PTM sites. The resource is now freely available at http://dbPTM.mbc.nctu.edu.tw/.
