Abstract

The huge amount of information involved in clinical cardiological examination raises the need for efficient patient data management and for the fusion of modern information processing techniques in the everyday clinical workstation. An integrated medical information system has been developed in order to organize the local cardiological legacy system in the AHEPA hospital. An ODBC based database (like Ms SqlServer or MSAccess) holds patient and ECG data. The system incorporates data management (storing and retrieval) and data processing modules. The processing module is added as an independent DLL. The visualization component results in a better view of the information. The components are integrated in a friendly window interface that lets the doctor browse patient information, apply modern signal processing techniques, make special measurements and store them in the database for research reasons.

Toward general methods of targeted library design: topomer shape similarity searching with diverse structures as queries.

A promising strategy for selecting synthetic targets is similarity-based searching of very large "virtual libraries", which comprise all structures accessible by linking two or three commercially available building blocks with combinatorial syntheses. To assess the general applicability of this strategy, leading structures taken from each of 34 recent medicinal chemistry publications were used as queries to search a virtual library containing 2.6 x 10(13) products from seven reactions, using a topomer shape similarity metric. Eighty-five percent of these searches succeeded, by yielding, with a search radius no greater than 120 topomer shape units, either at least 400 hits or hits from at least six sublibraries. From these 34 sets of search results, 122 representative structures were selected, illustrating potential "lead hops", or otherwise novel structures. Overall shape similarity to the query structure was confirmed for up to 95% of these representative structures, according to FLEXS, an algorithmically distinct program. Experimentally, there were 28 structures among those reported in the 34 query publications that were identified within the virtual library. Among these, the frequency of high activity was 87% for the 16 structures whose similarity to their query was 90 topomer units or less, compared to a frequency of 50% for the other 12 structures.

NCBI's LocusLink and RefSeq.

The NCBI has introduced two new web resources-LocusLink and RefSeq-that facilitate retrieval of gene-based information and provide reference sequence standards. These resources are designed to provide a non-redundant view of current knowledge about human genes, transcripts and proteins. Additional information about these resources is available on the LocusLink web site at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/LocusLink/

PRINTS-S: the database formerly known as PRINTS.

The PRINTS database houses a collection of protein family fingerprints. These are groups of motifs that together are diagnostically more potent than single motifs by virtue of the biological context afforded by matching motif neighbours. Around 1200 fingerprints have now been created and stored in the database. The September 1999 release (version 24.0) encodes approximately 7200 motifs, covering a range of globular and membrane proteins, modular polypeptides and so on. In addition to its continued steady growth, we report here several major changes to the resource, including the design of an automated strategy for database maintenance, and implementation of an object-relational schema for more efficient data management. The database is accessible for BLAST, fingerprint and text searches at http://www.bioinf.man.ac. uk/dbbrowser/PRINTS/
