EnzyMiner: automatic identification of protein level mutations and their impact on target enzymes from PubMed abstracts.

BMC bioinformatics | 2009

A better understanding of the mechanisms of an enzyme's functionality and stability, as well as knowledge and impact of mutations is crucial for researchers working with enzymes. Though, several of the enzymes' databases are currently available, scientific literature still remains at large for up-to-date source of learning the effects of a mutation on an enzyme. However, going through vast amounts of scientific documents to extract the information on desired mutation has always been a time consuming process. In this paper, therefore, we describe an unique method, termed as EnzyMiner, which automatically identifies the PubMed abstracts that contain information on the impact of a protein level mutation on the stability and/or the activity of a given enzyme.

RRID:SCR_006241

EnzyMiner automatically identifies the PubMed abstracts that contain information on the impact of a protein level mutation on the stability or the activity of a given enzyme. For querying EnzyMiner, please choose an enzyme from the list and specify if you are interested in disease related abstracts or non-disease related abstracts. For disease related abstracts, the mutation list and direct links to the abstracts will be displayed. For those abstracts that are related to non-diseases, in addition to having the mutation list, the abstracts are also categorized into two groups. These two groups determine whether the mutation has an effect on the enzyme''s stability or functionality. If your target enzyme is not in the list, please write the enzyme name to the query box. We will run the EnzyMiner for the desired enzyme and add the results to our database. EnzyMiner has been developed by Computational Biology Lab of Sabanci University.
