Protein Data Bank

What is Protein Data Bank?
  • A repository for 3-D biological macromolecular structure.
  • It is obtained by using crystallography or NMR spectroscopy.
  • Founded in 1971 by Brookhaven National Laboratory, New York
    -PDB is an important resource for research in the academic, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology sectors

  • Format is save in mmCIF(macromolecular Crystallograhic Information File)
  • The dictionary definition language (DDL)  is structured in a way that data files that conform to this syntax can be readily loaded into a database

Software tools...

  • pdb-extract
  • ADIT
  • PDB Validation Suite


Data Query....


Compound InformationMyoglobin,Lysozyme
Number of chains1-5
Secondary structure contentPresent of alpha min 80%
  • Example of protein data bank content.


NAME EXPLANATION
Structure of ClpP in complex with ADEP1
Clp-family proteins are prototypes for studying the mechanism of ATP-dependent proteases because the proteolytic activity of the ClpP core is tightly regulated by activating Clp-ATPases. The structures of Bacillus subtilis ClpP alone and in complex with ADEP1 and ADEP2.
 
NAME EXPLANATION
TRYPSIN INHIBITOR (T1) FROM NICOTIANA ALATA
The three-dimensional structures of a series of 6-kDa trypsin inhibitors isolated from the stigma of the ornamental tobacco Nicotiana alata have been determined by 1H NMR spectroscopy combined with simulated annealing calculations

XML


What is XML?

  1. XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
  2. XML is a markup language much like HTML
  3. XML was designed to carry data
  4. XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
  5. END tags is crucial
  6. XML is designed to be self-descriptive

The Difference Between XML and HTML

XML is not a replacement for HTML.
XML and HTML were designed with different goals:


XML/th>HTML/th>
Design to transport & store dataDesign to display data
"Focus on what the data about""Focus on how data looks"
Carrying informationDisplay information



XML Does Not DO Anything

Maybe it is a little hard to understand, but XML does not DO anything. XML was created to structure, store, and transport information.
The following example is a note to Tove, from Jani, stored as XML:
<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>
The note above is quite self descriptive. It has sender and receiver information, it also has a heading and a message body.
But still, this XML document does not DO anything. It is just information wrapped in tags. Someone must write a piece of software to send, receive or display it.


With XML You Invent Your Own Tags

The tags in the example above (like <to> and <from>) are not defined in any XML standard. These tags are "invented" by the author of the XML document.
That is because the XML language has no predefined tags.
The tags used in HTML are predefined. HTML documents can only use tags defined in the HTML standard (like <p>, <h1>, etc.).
XML allows the author to define his/her own tags and his/her own document structure.


XML is Not a Replacement for HTML

XML is a complement to HTML.
It is important to understand that XML is not a replacement for HTML. In most web applications, XML is used to transport data, while HTML is used to format and display the data.
My best description of XML is this:
XML is a software- and hardware-independent tool for carrying information.


XML is Everywhere

XML is now as important for the Web as HTML was to the foundation of the Web.
XML is the most common tool for data transmissions between all sorts of applications.


HTML


What is HTML?

HTML is a language for describing web pages.
  • HTML stands for Hyper Text Markup Language
  • HTML is a markup language
  • A markup language is a set of markup tags
  • The tags describe document content
  • HTML documents contain HTML tags and plain text
  • HTML documents are also called web pages

HTML code example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>

<h1>My First Heading</h1>

<p>My first paragraph.</p>

</body>
</html>

Web Browsers

The purpose of a web browser (such as Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari) is to read HTML documents and display them as web pages. The browser does not display the HTML tags, but uses the tags to interpret the content of the page:


HTML Page Structure

Below is a visualization of an HTML page structure:

<html>
<body>
<h1>This a Heading</h1>
<p>This is a paragraph.</p>
<p>This is another paragraph.</p>
</body>
</html>

HTML Versions

Since the early days of the web, there have been many versions of HTML:


VersionYear
HTML1991
HTML+1993
HTML 2.01995
HTML 3.21997
HTML 4.011999
XHTML 1.02000
HTML 52012

SMILES

SMILES as a simple yet comprehensive chemical language in which molecules and reactions can be specified using ASCII characters representing atom and bond symbols. SMILES contains the same information as is found in an extended connection table but with several advantages. A SMILES string is human understandable, very compact, and if canonicalized represents a unique string that can be used as a universal identifier for a specific chemical structure. In addition, a chemically correct and comprehensible depiction can be made from any SMILES string symbolizing either a molecule or reaction. 



Some simple SMILES examples:
EthanolCCO
Acetic acidCC(=O)O
CyclohexaneC1CCCCC1
Pyridinec1cnccc1
Trans-2-buteneC/C=C/C
L-alanineN[C@@H](C)C(=O)O
Sodium chloride[Na+].[Cl-]
Displacement reaction    C=CCBr>>C=CCI

Welcome To Garden Of Knowledge And Virtue!!!!


Assalamualaikum everyone!
What a beautiful day we have today, and hopefully for the whole week!
Today I am very excited to tell you about my first ever experience in IIUM Kuantan.
We were ordered to register ourselves at IIUM Kuantan Campus on September the 4th of 2012.
After finishing the registration process and moving into the respective mahallah, we were immediately proceeded to the taaruf session.


*Masjid Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah*



(click for more info) :D



This time I bring you posts about Taaruf Week in IIUM Kuantan which I was involved in September 2012.

Like most Taaruf Week, all students (from CFS mainly) will sign up a week earlier before lectures begin.  You'll be surprised  that the Taaruf Week in IIUM Kuantan only lasted for THREE days!

Differed with Taaruf Week in CFS IIUM, IIUM Gombak's Taaruf Week also held during the same week. 
By the way, I want to bring you the post about the activities and everything that I have experienced during the Week of Taaruf.


Registration


 For September 2012 Intake, the place of registration is at the Office of Campus Director (OCD). Starting at 8.30 am till 12.00 pm, you should dress neatly; wearing a dark pants for the boys and baju kurung for the girls.


*The OCD bulding*

Bring all the documents and hard copies requested. Maybe there will be additional forms to be filled. There are several counter we must go through ;the finance counter, the mahallah registration counter, and taaruf kit counter.

Then we can continue moving into our respective mahallah, for most sciences student, they were required to stay at At-Tabari 1 and 2 while other students were spread into other mahallah.

*Mahallah atTabari*


Briefing by the Student Committee and Departments



The first session (at 2 p.m.) we are officially a student of IIUM Kuantan. Location for September 2012 Intake is at the Grand Hall, OCD. 

During this session, the committee will explain a bit about the Taaruf Week and what we are going to experience in the next three days, as well as briefing by the departments, like security, library, ITD, and others.

Kuliyyah Briefing


*Kuliyyah of Sciences building*


For this session, the students were divided according to their respective Kulliyyah as each Kuliyyah has a dean and deputy dean respectively. The students of Kuliyyah of Sciences were directed to the main auditorium in the Kuliyyah of Sciences building (which is the most remote kuliyyah in IIUM Kuantan, if you wish to go there by walking, you'll die immediately)

The Dean explained everything about our Kuliyyah and introduced us the administration and lecturers. Then we were enlightened about our courses plan and our future in this Kuliyyah.



Baiah Session and Closing Ceremony

Begin with the arrival of Rector of IIUM, Deans of Kuliyyah, Deputy Deans, and lectures. Then proceeded with the Asmaulhusna recitation, singing the National anthem, IIUM official anthem and quranic recitation by the selected students.

Then the Rector of IIUM, Prof. Dato' Sri Dr Zaleha Kamaruddin take place at the podium and delivered a wonderful speech about values ,ethics,vision and mission the IIUM holds.

Right after that, all the new students giving out their baiah in front of the Rector, Deans and lecturers in a sassy way.

The baiah basically ensuring that all the students giving out their best performance in every aspect  of their life and also making a promise to the IIUM, themselves and to their parents on being the best of the best in their life and also in their academic grades.
 After that we were presented with multimedia created by the taaruf committee and dismissed.
