Abstract:
Protein kinase data originate from sources with different identifiers, definitions, and evidence models. KinomeX (https://kinomex.dokhlab.org) is an online platform that aligns the human protein kinase list from KinHub with reviewed entries from UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot and links each record to source-specific evidence. The catalog includes 678 protein entries: 522 KinHub core entries with 536 kinase-domain rows, and 156 reviewed UniProt entries labeled with the Kinase keyword (KW-0418), mostly phosphorylating lipids, nucleotides, sugars, or small molecules. Kinase profiles integrate reviewed annotations, 10,043 experimental structures, AlphaFold models, 1,021,421 ligand bioactivity records, 36,396 tissue-expression data from GTEx, 63,649 ClinVar variants, and live STRING connections. Missing records are marked as unavailable. We developed the Pharmaceutical Development Interest Score (PDIS), which combines citation, clinical-trial, structural, and chemical data with adjustable component weights. These rankings are consistent across numerous weightings (median Spearman ρ = 0.955) and better reflect Pharos target development levels than citation counts alone. Examples highlight 93 under-cited but structurally and chemically accessible kinases and 47 CNS-specific kinases, with evidence on structure, chemistry, and variants. KinomeX enables evidence review and hypothesis formation, using PDIS to indicate documented development efforts rather than biological significance.

Proteomics
Proteomics is the study of proteomes' function. It involves the large-scale systematic study of the proteome to denote the protein complement expressed by a genome. Scientist Mark Wilkins coined the term proteomics...
