Nella sua nuova veste, il dottorato s’inserisce nel settore interdisciplinare delle scienze biologiche e naturali, al crocevia di diversi campi di studio che hanno in comune il linguaggio e il metodo scientifico. Esso si propone di fornire agli studenti gli strumenti per la ricerca applicata in biologia animale, vegetale, microbica e ambientale, oltre che per la ricerca negli ambiti di monitoraggio ambientale, conservazione, protezione dell'ambiente, e utilizzazione delle risorse naturali, aprendo la strada a programmi di ricerca sui “Geo-Sistemi e Geo-Risorse”, ed implementando nuove Green and White Technologies nella utilizzazione delle risorse naturali. Il Dottorato in “Applied Biology and Environmental Safeguard”, dunque, riunisce in se le competenze del precedente dottorato internazionale in “Bioecosistemi e Biotecnologie/BioEcoSystems and BioTechnology” e quelle del concluso dottorato in “Scienze della Terra”, entrambi afferenti al Dipartimento di Scienze, e nasce con l’intento di affrontare ricerche che abbiano forti ricadute applicative, privilegiando l’innovazione tecnologica pur senza trascurare la ricerca di base. Sbocchi occupazionali e professionali previsti Il nuovo Dottorato è aperto alle richieste di sviluppo precompetitivo provenienti dal mondo industriale e alle necessità del territorio nell’ambito della difesa e recupero degli ambienti naturali ed antropici. Pertanto, gli ambiti professionali nei quali si prevedono sbocchi occupazionali per i dottori di ricerca sono: a. ricerca ed alta formazione in istituzioni accademiche e di ricerca pubbliche o private; b. attività di management, consulenza, ricerca e sviluppo in istituzioni e aziende operanti nei campi delle biologia e della farmaceutica; c. attività di management, consulenza, ricerca e sviluppo in istituzioni e aziende operanti nei campi della geologia applicata, della protezione, tutela e recupero ambientale e della migliore utilizzazione delle risorse naturali. I dottori alla fine del ciclo di studi avranno acquisito un livello di competenze e conoscenze tali da renderli autonomi nella ricerca e nella proposizione di idee e progetti. Nel periodo di formazione, ed eventuale tirocinio, i dottorandi avranno l’opportunità di entrare in contatto con attività produttive italiane ed estere, pertanto si possono prevedere sbocchi occupazionali nella ricerca industriale sia in Italia che all'estero in istituzioni di ricerca ed aziende che intendono avviare o hanno già avviato processi d’innovazione tecnologica. Un’azienda multinazionale ha offerto una borsa di studio triennale per attività di ricerca di comune interesse.

  • Molecular Structure Input on the Web Peter Ertl
    Ertl Journal of Cheminformatics 2010, 2:1 http://www.jcheminf.com/content/2/1/1 REVIEW Open Access Molecular structure input on the web Peter Ertl Abstract A molecule editor, that is program for input and editing of molecules, is an indispensable part of every cheminfor- matics or molecular processing system. This review focuses on a special type of molecule editors, namely those that are used for molecule structure input on the web. Scientific computing is now moving more and more in the direction of web services and cloud computing, with servers scattered all around the Internet. Thus a web browser has become the universal scientific user interface, and a tool to edit molecules directly within the web browser is essential. The review covers a history of web-based structure input, starting with simple text entry boxes and early molecule editors based on clickable maps, before moving to the current situation dominated by Java applets. One typical example - the popular JME Molecule Editor - will be described in more detail. Modern Ajax server-side molecule editors are also presented. And finally, the possible future direction of web-based molecule editing, based on tech- nologies like JavaScript and Flash, is discussed.

  • Introduction to Bioinformatics (Elective) – SBB1609
    SCHOOL OF BIO AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY Unit 1 – Introduction to Bioinformatics (Elective) – SBB1609 1 I HISTORY OF BIOINFORMATICS Bioinformatics is an interdisciplinary field that develops methods and software tools for understanding biologicaldata. As an interdisciplinary field of science, bioinformatics combines computer science, statistics, mathematics, and engineering to analyze and interpret biological data. Bioinformatics has been used for in silico analyses of biological queries using mathematical and statistical techniques. Bioinformatics derives knowledge from computer analysis of biological data. These can consist of the information stored in the genetic code, but also experimental results from various sources, patient statistics, and scientific literature. Research in bioinformatics includes method development for storage, retrieval, and analysis of the data. Bioinformatics is a rapidly developing branch of biology and is highly interdisciplinary, using techniques and concepts from informatics, statistics, mathematics, chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and linguistics. It has many practical applications in different areas of biology and medicine. Bioinformatics: Research, development, or application of computational tools and approaches for expanding the use of biological, medical, behavioral or health data, including those to acquire, store, organize, archive, analyze, or visualize such data. Computational Biology: The development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems. "Classical" bioinformatics: "The mathematical, statistical and computing methods that aim to solve biological problems using DNA and amino acid sequences and related information.” The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI 2001) defines bioinformatics as: "Bioinformatics is the field of science in which biology, computer science, and information technology merge into a single discipline.

Recently, a trend towards the use of in silico computational chemistry and molecular modeling for computer-aided drug design has gained significant momentum. This review investigates the application of free and/or open-source software in the drug discovery process. Among the reviewed software programs are applications programmed in JAVA, Perl and Python, as well as resources including software libraries. These programs might be useful for cheminformatics approaches to drug discovery, including QSAR studies, energy minimization and docking studies in drug design endeavors. Furthermore, this review explores options for integrating available computer modeling open-source software applications in drug discovery programs.

    BALLView A molecular viewer and modeling tool Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades des Doktors der Ingenieurwissenschaften der Naturwissenschaftlich– Technischen Fakultäten der Universität des Saarlandes vorgelegt von Diplom-Biologe Andreas Moll Saarbrücken im Mai 2007 Tag des Kolloquiums: 18. Juli 2007 Dekan: Prof. Dr. Thorsten Herfet Mitglieder des Prüfungsausschusses: Prof. Dr. Philipp Slusallek Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Lenhof Prof. Dr. Oliver Kohlbacher Dr. Dirk Neumann Acknowledgments The work on this thesis was carried out during the years 2002-2007 at the Center for Bioinformatics in the group of Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Lenhof who also was the supervisor of the thesis. With his deeply interesting lecture on bioinformatics, Prof. Dr. Hans-Peter Lenhof kindled my interest in this field and gave me the freedom to do research in those areas that fascinated me most. The implementation of BALLView would have been unthinkable without the help of all the people who contributed code and ideas. In particular, I want to thank Prof. Dr. Oliver Kohlbacher for his splendid work on the BALL library, on which this thesis is based on. Furthermore, Prof. Kohlbacher had at any time an open ear for my questions. Next I want to thank Dr. Andreas Hildebrandt, who had good advices for the majority of problems that I was confronted with. In addition he contributed code for database access, field line calculations, spline points calculations, 2D depiction of molecules, and for the docking in- terface. Heiko Klein wrote the precursor of the VIEW library. Anne Dehof implemented the peptide builder, the secondary structure assignment, and a first version of the editing mo- de.

  • Compound Prioritization Through Meta-Analysis Enhances the Discovery of Antimicrobial Hits Against Bacterial Pathogens
    antibiotics Article Compound Prioritization through Meta-Analysis Enhances the Discovery of Antimicrobial Hits against Bacterial Pathogens Loic Deblais and Gireesh Rajashekara * Food Animal Health Research Program, Department of Veterinary Preventive Medicine, The Ohio State University, OARDC, Wooster, OH 44691, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-330-263-3745 Abstract: The development of informatic tools to improve the identification of novel antimicrobials would significantly reduce the cost and time of drug discovery. We previously screened several plant (Xanthomonas sp., Clavibacter sp., Acidovorax sp., and Erwinia sp.), animal (Avian pathogenic Escherichia coli and Mycoplasma sp.), and human (Salmonella sp. and Campylobacter sp.) pathogens against a pre-selected small molecule library (n = 4182 SM) to identify novel SM (hits) that completely inhibited the bacterial growth or attenuated at least 75% of the virulence (quorum sensing or biofilm). Our meta-analysis of the primary screens (n = 11) using the pre-selected library (approx. 10.2 ± 9.3% hit rate per screen) demonstrated that the antimicrobial activity and spectrum of activity, and type of inhibition (growth versus virulence inhibitors) correlated with several physico-chemical properties (PCP; e.g., molecular weight, molar refraction, Zagreb group indexes, Kiers shape, lipophilicity, and hydrogen bond donors and acceptors). Based on these correlations, we build an in silico model that accurately classified 80.8% of the hits (n = 1676/2073). Therefore, the pre-selected SM library of 4182 SM was narrowed down to 1676 active SM with predictable PCP. Further, 926 hits affected only one species and 1254 hits were active against specific type of pathogens; however, no correlation was Citation: Deblais, L.; Rajashekara, G.

Computational methods used in the case study The original case study dataset of 115 bidentate ligand-Ni complexes consists on two- dimensional structures. Ligand geometry optimization for calculating three-dimensional descriptors was performed using Hyperchem.1 We used the MM+ force field in combination with a conjugate gradient optimisation method (Polak-Ribiere). Then, the ligand descriptors were computed with the Codessa software package2 and analysed using Matlab scripts.3 A total of 168 (2D and 3D) descriptors were calculated (full list further in the Supporting Information 4). The FOM and the descriptor data was analyzed using principal component analysis (PCA).4 model constructions was done using a partial least squares (PLS) algorithm.4, 5 The experimental FOM (expFOM) is the reference value. The predicted FOM (predFOM) is the value to be validated. The model validation error and the ΔFOM model validation, were computed using the following expressions: ΔFOM = | expFOM - predFOM | %error = | ΔFOM /expFOM | x 100 Supporting Information 2. List of selected software and algorithms for descriptor calculation and selection The number and complexity of known molecular descriptors keep increasing with time. A full list of software for descriptor calculation and selection is thus out of the scope of this supplementary Material.
