Your questions
Predict
• Can I predict the active site residues of this enzyme?• Why are these patients ill?• Can I make a 3D model for my protein?• Can I predict a (better) drug for this target?• How can I improve the thermostability of this protein?
(protein engineering)• How can I predict the genes located on this genome?

Databases
Data must be in certain format for the programs to recognize them.
Every database can have its own format, but some data elements are essential for every database:
1. Unique identifier, or accession code2. Name of depositor3. Literature references4. Deposition date5. The real data

Quality of databases
SwissProt
• Data is only entered by annotation experts
EMBL, PDB
• Everybody can submit data• Data are accepted the way they are submitted
©CMBI 2002
SwissProt database
• Database of protein sequences• Produced by Amos Bairoch (University of Geneva) and the
EMBL Data Library• Data derived from:
– translations of DNA sequences (from EMBL Database)– adapted from the PIR collection– extracted from the literature – and directly submitted by researchers
• SwissProt & SwissNew• July 2001:
– ~86,600 entries, ~15,000 new entries / year– Swissnew: 53,000 entries
• Ca. 200 Annotation experts worldwide• Keyword-organised flatfile
