Computer programs in histopathology record keeping.

Abstract

Increasing work loads, changes in the nature of data obtained from biopsies, and the use of laboratory statistics in determining financial provision for pathological services combine to enhance the value of computer generated results and indexing in histopathology. The system described here depends on an indexed file system using the Basic Plus-2 language with a PDP-11 computer and SNOP. Error traps are included. The system is designed for secretarial use, SNOP coding being carried out by medical staff.

Structural insights into protein-uranyl interaction: towards an in silico detection method.

Documenting the modes of interaction of uranyl (UO(2)2+) with large biomolecules, and particularly with proteins, is instrumental for the interpretation of its behavior in vitro and in vivo. The gathering of three-dimensional information concerning uranyl-first shell atoms from two structural databases, the Cambridge Structural Databank and the Protein Data Bank (PDB) allowed a screening of corresponding topologies in proteins of known structure. In the computer-aided procedure, all potentially bound residues from the template structure were granted full flexibility using a rotamer library. The Amber force-field was used to loosen constraints and score each predicted site. Our algorithm was validated as a first stage through the recognition of existing experimental data in the PDB. The coherent localization of missing atoms in the density map of an ambiguous uranium/uranyl-protein complex exemplified the efficiency of our approach, which is currently suggesting the experimental investigation of uranyl-protein binding site.
