Proteax
is a program that is used by researchers that have to make structure
modifications on proteins. You can generate both structures and
sequences, enabling you to do a substructure search, for instance in
Isentris, and also a sequence search.
You can also do calculations with your protein right inside Excel. All
the calculations are functions that you can choose like any other Excel
function, like "sum".
You can even use these functions in SQL queries using the Proteax
Cartridge.
These functions are extremely useful for identifying different protein
modifications.
For those who don't work with proteins. Why would one modify proteins?
You can modify insulin, so it becomes less soluble and is then absorbed
slowly. This is the type of insulin that you will take in the evening,
and it will last all through the night keeping your blood sugar stable. |
