PPS:基于PROSITE数据库检索蛋白质功能位点的计算机程序

PS: A Computer Program for Searching Protein Motifs Basedon the PROSITE Database

用标准Ｃ语言在ＩＢＭ－ＰＣ兼容微机上开发了基于ＰＲＯＳＩＴＥ数据库检索蛋白质序列功能位点的ＰＰＳ程序，ＰＲＯＳＩＴＥ是Ｂａｉｒｏｃｈ建立的蛋白质功能位点或结构模式的资料库，为蛋白质序列分析和结构功能研究提供了新工具。

protein motif is a list of conserved residues occuring at specific Positions along a sequence anddefining function or structure of a protein. PROSITE is a library of those sites and Patterns found in proteinsequences and developed by A. Bairoch. Based on the database, a program called PPS, written in Ccomputer language, is developed to search protein sequence for motifs, which provides a new tool forprotein sequence analysis and structure and function research.
