Background

Recent years have been characterized by a considerable increase in the number of available algorithms for the analysis of protein sequences. These techniques allow the rapid comparison of a new target gene with the information encoded in other proteins. This is used to decrypt its structural and functional properties. As a result, this not only means researchers receive results more quickly, they are also better able to understand their target and to establish new methods of research.

However, the difficulty of such analysis is the considerable information available. This forces users to undertake long and exhaustive studies to select the optimal methods and parameters. Furthermore, they have to sort through the flow of information in order to detect the significant results. On the other hand, new techniques of interest appear on a regularly basis, forcing the users to be consistently aware of changing technology.

Unique service

Biosiris is able to provide a new and unique service that will not only allow you to gain time, but also enhance your efficiency and decrease your costs. This is achieved by better targeting your further research: Protein Investigator™.

Biosiris gives you the opportunity to have your sequence analysis carried out by experts who specialize in molecular modeling. Our staff possesses considerable experience in such studies and a great knowledge on proteins. This means that Biosiris will help you to draw parallels between your sequence and other similar proteins that we have already encountered. By choosing to work in partnership with us, you have the guarantee of an insightful and objective approach.

Expected results

Biosiris will study the properties of your target by using its own technology platform and a wide selection of tools that are available on the market.

From the protein sequence, Biosiris will predict the structural features (secondary structure, disulfide bonds, transmembrane helices, structural disorder, coiled-coils etc.) and the functional features (posttraductionnal modifications, functional motifs and domains, signal sequence, interaction sites, antigenic sites, etc.).

This analysis will add considerable value to your research process: mutations will be suggested to detect important functional regions of your protein. The various elements of your sequence will then be compared and clearly presented in a user-friendly report (see figure below).

What other advantages will Biosiris offer you? Not only do we provide a quick service, we also provide a cost efficient service.

Conclusions

This program allows you the unique opportunity of having a new insight on your target. It can open up new research directions and help in term of your choosing between different research hypotheses.
