iProtein provides access to
Eidogen-Sertanty's Target Informatics Platform (TIP) - the world's first protein
structure informatics system and knowledgebase enabling structural interrogation of the druggable genome.
TIP amplifies the rapidly expanding
body of experimental protein structural information found in the Protein Data
Bank (PDB) by generating high accuracy
protein structural models across sequences found in Swiss-Prot, RefSeq,
Ensembl, IPI, etc. TIP leverages protein structural information across family
members and corresponding crystal structure templates using an algorithm that has been validated in several
top pharmaceutical companies and academic research sites. As such, TIP
contains the worldÕs largest repository of protein structures and models.
The Target Informatics Platform's
content includes high resolution protein structures with reliably annotated
small molecule binding sites, including >200,000 chains and comparative
models of human proteins, covering every major drug target family including
proteases, kinases, phosphatases, phosphodiesterases, nuclear receptors, and
GPCRs.
In addition to TIP's high quality
structural annotation, it is the only database of its kind that stores all
similarity relationships between every sequence, structure, and binding site,
making it an incredibly powerful system for structural and comparative
proteomics.
