Human Protein Reference Database (HPRD) () was developed to serve as a comprehensive collection of protein features, post-translational modifications (PTMs) and protein–protein interactions. Since the original report, this database has increased to >20 000 proteins entries and has become the largest database for literature-derived protein–protein interactions (>30 000) and PTMs (>8000) for human proteins. We have also introduced several new features in HPRD including: (i) protein isoforms, (ii) enhanced search options, (iii) linking of pathway annotations and (iv) integration of a novel browser, GenProt Viewer (), developed by us that allows integration of genomic and proteomic information. With the continued support and active participation by the biomedical community, we expect HPRD to become a unique source of curated information for the human proteome and spur biomedical discoveries based on integration of genomic, transcriptomic and proteomic data.

Plasma is one of the best studied compartments in the human body and serves as an ideal body fluid for the diagnosis of diseases. This report provides a detailed functional annotation of all the plasma proteins identified to date. In all, gene products encoded by 3778 distinct genes were annotated based on proteins previously published in the literature as plasma proteins and the identification of multiple peptides from proteins under HUPO's Plasma Proteome Project. Our analysis revealed that 51% of these genes encoded more than one protein isoform. All single nucleotide polymorphisms involving protein-coding regions were mapped onto the protein sequences. We found a number of examples of isoform-specific subcellular localization as well as tissue expression. This database is an attempt at comprehensive annotation of a complex subproteome and is available on the web at http://www.plasmaproteomedatabase.org.

ABSTRACT. FT-IR, FT-Raman and UV-Vis spectra of the Schiff base compound (E)-N'-(Pyridin-2-yl) methylene) nicotinohydrazide (P2CNH) have been recorded and analyzed. The optimized molecular structures, vibrational assignment of P2CNH have been investigated by using DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory. The Non-linear optical behavior of the title compound was measured using first order hyperpolarizability calculation. Hyperconjugative interaction and electron densities of donor (i) and acceptor (j) bonds were calculated using NBO analysis. The energy gap of the molecule was found using HOMO and LUMO calculation. The electronic transition was studied using TD-DFT method. In addition of mulliken atomic charges and MEP surface have been also analyzed.

An optimization-based integrated controls-structures design methodology for a class of exible space structures is described, and the phase-0 Controls-Structures-Integration evolutionary model, a laboratory testbed at NASA Langley, is redesigned using this integrated design methodology. The integrated controls-structures design is posed as a nonlinear programming problem to minimize the control eort required to maintain a specied line-of-sight pointing performance, under persistent white noise disturbance. Static and dynamic dissipative control strategies are employed for feedback control, and parameters of these controllers are considered as the control design variables. Sizes of strut elements in various sections of the CEM are used as the structural design variables. Design guides for the struts are developed and employed in the integrated design process, to ensure that the redesigned structure can be eectively fabricated. The superiority of the integrated design methodology over the conventional design approach is demonstrated analytically by observing a signicant reduction in the average control power needed to maintain specied pointing performance with the integrated design approach.
