ABD: Advanced Biotechnological Directory for Protein Sequence and Structure analysis

Over the past decades, a number of computational tools for structure prediction have been developed. It is critical that the biological community is aware of such tools and is able to interpret their results in an informed way. Rapid increase in protein sequence information from genome sequencing projects demand the intervention of bioinformatics tools to recognize interesting gene products and associated function often multiple algorithms need to be employed to improve accuracy in prediction and several structure prediction. Here we report the availability of an ABD as a bioinformatics online package dedicated for Insilco analysis of protein sequence and structure analysis (ABD). ABD provides web interface to both in house and widely accepted programmes from major bioinformatic groups organized and five different modules. This database has the potential of becoming a major hub of resources for the biological community.
