Abstract:
Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center has available for licensing a novel bioinformatics software program called Scansite. Developed by Lewis Cantley, Ph.D., and his colleagues in the BIDMC Signal Transduction lab, Scansite is a world-wide web interfaced bioinformatic computer program to predict sites of protein-protein interaction and protein phosphorylation. The program allows scientists to scan a protein sequence for novel functions, interactions, and post-translational modifications. Application is not limited to proteins previously identified in the lab, but can also deduce this information for theoretical proteins whose sequences are obtained from the Human Genome Project or other sequencing initiatives.
