 Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)

'Two academic groups and eight SMEs who all work on different aspects of protein engineering will collaborate and produce a website that will consist of a portal with an embedded workbench to provide users a self-service system for in silico protein engineering. This interactive self-service portal will give users access to a wide variety of protein engineering facilities and information systems, and will allow them to interactively work with a comprehensive set of well-documented, well-integrated computational protein engineering tools. The databases that will be provided will be curated, and the software and protocols will be validated by performing a variety of protein engineering experiments on a series of enzyme classes. The portal and the interactive workbench will be freely available, and they will be solidly based in modern information technology. The usability for protein engineering will be thoroughly experimentally validated.'

Introduzione (Teaser)

Researchers from around the globe can conduct in silico protein engineering experiments online. A powerful new portal makes this possible.

Descrizione progetto (Article)

Protein engineering has been witnessing a renaissance in recent years with the emergence of new technologies that help researchers create new proteins. These new proteins offer significant potential not only in biology research but also a variety of other fields ranging from biomedicine to energy production.

In this light, the EU-funded project http://swift.cmbi.ru.nl/gv/newprot/ (NEWPROT) (An interactive protein engineering portal with validated software and database facilities) is furthering this important scientific discipline. More specifically, the project team has built an interactive portal for protein engineering that incorporates different software products to facilitate research and development.

The team has installed various software services from different project partners and harmonised the software products under one portal. The portal's strength lies in exploring the effect of mutations on protein stability, selectivity and activity and on production level.

NEWPROT has now streamlined collaboration at both the human and software level and optimised their self-service portal (SSP) for protein engineering.

The SSP is providing European software companies implicated in this ambitious initiative with an important outlet to showcase their software capabilities. The portal itself will appeal to the thousands of protein engineers across the globe, be they in industry or academia. This enables faster design of new medicines, facilitates production of biofuels and supports production of certain kinds of foods.

The project plays an important role in furthering sustainability and improving the standard of living. Now that the portal is officially launched, many societal challenges can be addressed.
