Protein Networks

4.6K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Graphs of Functions01:30

Graphs of Functions

433
Graphs of functions provide a visual representation of how output values change in response to varying inputs. Each point on the graph corresponds to an ordered pair, where the x-coordinate (independent variable) determines the horizontal position and the y-coordinate (dependent variable) determines the vertical position. Linear functions like y = x give a straight line, indicating a constant rate of change.Nonlinear functions display more complex behaviors. Even power functions generate...

Model Approaches for Pharmacokinetic Data: Physiological Models

329
Physiological models in pharmacokinetics are instrumental in understanding the distribution and elimination of drugs within the body. These models describe the drug concentration within target organs, influenced by factors such as drug uptake, tissue volume, and blood flow. Drug uptake is governed by the partition coefficient, which signifies the drug concentration ratio in tissue to that in the blood. The blood flow rate to a specific tissue is expressed as Qt, and the rate of change in tissue...

Graphs of Equations in Two Variables

329
An equation with two variables, typically written in the form y = f(x) or Ax + By = C, describes a relationship between quantities represented by x and y. Each solution to such an equation is an ordered pair (x, y) that satisfies the equation when substituted. These pairs can be represented graphically to understand the variables' relationship visually.A common technique for constructing the graph of a two-variable equation is to create a value table. Begin by choosing several values for the...

Protein Glycosylation01:25

Protein Glycosylation

10.1K
Glycosylation, the most common post-translational modification for proteins, serves diverse functions. Adding sugars to proteins makes the proteins more resistant to proteolytic digestion. Glycosylated proteins can act as markers and receptors to promote cell-cell adhesion. Additionally, they have many essential quality control functions in the cell, such as correct protein folding and facilitating transport of misfolded proteins to the cytosol, which can be degraded.
Glycosylation occurs in...

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Informatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Knowledge Representation

Background:

  • Life science ontologies are crucial for semantic web applications, enabling data annotation, integration, and consistency checking.
  • Understanding the structure and overlap of these ontologies is vital for effective reuse and development.
  • BioPortal serves as a key repository for exploring these complex life science knowledge structures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the structure and identify patterns within life science ontologies hosted on BioPortal.
  • To analyze the evolution of ontology communities and identify core ontologies over time.
  • To understand the coherence and validation of identified ontology communities.

Main Methods:

  • Applied graph theory methods, including Modularity Analysis and Betweenness Centrality, to ontology mapping data.
  • Analyzed data from five distinct time points to track changes and evolution.
  • Identified and defined communities of overlapping ontologies, assessing their coherence using BioPortal data and literature mentions.

Main Results:

  • Identified and tracked the evolution of similar and closest communities of overlapping ontologies.
  • Anatomy and health ontologies were observed to form more isolated communities compared to other categories.
  • Communities often encompass the majority of ontologies used in related projects, with significant changes noted post-BioPortal Version 4 migration.

Conclusions:

  • The study reveals dynamic community structures within life science ontologies, highlighting the importance of temporal analysis.
  • Specific domains like anatomy and health exhibit unique community formation patterns.
  • The findings provide insights into ontology reuse, development, and the impact of platform updates on knowledge organization.
