Implementation of Integrated search method for Motif Resources

모티프 자원에 대한 통합 접근 검색 메소드 구현

Motif which is a recurrent feature shared by a significant segments from the proteins belonging to different families can be used to predict functional or structural properties of the protein, or to describe features common to biologically related proteins. Although there are many existed motif databases, they are unstandardized and built up by different methods. so it is difficult to get enough motif information when researches use motif databases for classification, prediction, etc. Using logical integration of biological based on cross-references between these databases is the common solution for information tracking through www. However, the problem such as the motif resource tracking method for making a united motif information page emerges from cross-reference. In this paper we propose the motif resource tracking method based on the existed motif databases for easy and comfortable interface better than in the case of using each motif database. The result which is given by this method is the review of necessary information about any motif in PROSITE database.
