Proteax^® - protein registration and analysis

Biochemfusion's Proteax software suite adds protein chemistry intelligence to both your databases and your spreadsheets. The chemically-aware engine enables you to work with post-translationally and chemically modified proteins. Protein entries can therefore be transferred directly to bioinformatics tools, chemistry tools and to and from mass spectrometry instruments.

The Proteax data cartridge directly supports Oracle^® databases without imposing restrictions on the way you model data. Limited support for PostgreSQL databases has been demonstrated too. Offline and local work is supported by using the Proteax for Spreadsheets add-ins that work in both Microsoft Excel^® and OpenOffice.org^® Calc.

Key features

• Add post-translational modifications and chemical features to your protein sequences.
• Export and import proteins in GPMAW (a product of Lighthouse Data) format for mass spectrometry analysis.
• Enforce sequence and structural identity checks on protein registrations.
• View proteins as chemical entities and register them in chemistry databases.

Industry standard formats

Proteax supports industry standard protein and chemistry formats. Proteins can be entered in UniProt (as defined by The UniProt Consortium), GPMAW, FASTA, and Protein Line Notation format. Chemical structures are generated in MDL molfile format to provide instant access to both protein sequence data as well as the chemical representation of the macromolecules that you store.

Chemistry cartridge integration

Proteax works in concert with your existing chemistry database to extend the effective size range that you can operate in. Biochemfusion's support for condensed molecular representation removes performance obstacles for registration and search of even very large macromolecules.
