Abstract:
In this paper we propose an approach to integrate protein information
from various data sources by defining a Protein Ontology. Protein Ontology
provides the technical and scientific infrastructure and knowledge to allow
description and analysis of relationships between various proteins. Protein
Ontology uses relevant protein data sources of information like PDB, SCOP,
and OMIM. Protein Ontology describes: Protein Sequence and Structure
Information, Protein Folding Process, Cellular Functions of Proteins, Molecular
Bindings internal and external to Proteins, and Constraints affecting the Final
Protein Conformation. Details about Protein Ontology are available online at
http://www.proteinontology.info/.
