Integrated retrieval sites

The amino acid sequences can be searched and retrieved from the integrated retrieval sites such as Entrez (Schuler et al., 1996), SRS of EBI (http //srs.ebi.ac.uk/), and DDBJ (http //srs.ddbj.nig.ac.jp/index-e.html). From the Entrez home page (http //www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez), select Protein to open the protein search page. Follow the same procedure described for the Nucleotide sequence (Chapter 9) to retrieve amino acid sequences of proteins in two formats GenPept and fasta. The GenPept format is similar to the GenBank format with annotated information, reference(s), and features. The amino acid sequences of the EBI are derived from the SWISS-PROT database. The retrieval system of the DDBJ consists of PIR, SWISS-PROT, and DAD, which returns sequences in the GenPept format. 

The new DBI-SALA 85 and 130-foot Sealed-Blok M Self-Retracting Lifelines (SRL) are designed to withstand the harshest operating environments and include features that maximize work site versatility and lower the cost of ownership. Industry-first features new to the 85 and 130-foot Sealed-Blok SRL s include an optional RSQ dual-mode rescue capability, a FAST-Line field replaceable lifeline, IP68 sealed rating certification and a secondary faU arrest rated anchor point. Units are available with an integrated retrieval winch. Capital Safety, www.capi-talsafety.com, (800) 328-6146. Circle 265... 

The advanced integrated solvent extraction and ion exchange systems are designed for the chemical pretreatment of waste retrieved from storage tanks at Department of Energy (DOE) sites (e.g., at INEL, Hanford, Savannah River). 

This chapter has reviewed the basic principles of computer-aided drug design, and several strategies of how it can be successfully integrated with combinatorial chemistry to develop highly effective site-focused libraries. Diversity plays a key role, as the more diverse set of compounds tested that fit the site-focused criteria, the more information is retrieved to improve the site-focused definition, which further directs the search in diversity space. In addition, if good hits are found, the information can be fed back to find compounds close in diverse space to the hit. This new paradigm for structure-based combinatorial chemistry should provide a powerful tool for rapid discovery of novel, potent lead compounds in the years to come. 

The Liquid Master Store at Roche uses a 96-tube version of the microtube plate described in Section 1.4 a description of the 96-tube plate is found on the web site www.remp.com. The individually accessible tubes in 96-tube plates in the Liquid Master Store hold a few definite sample volumes, e.g. 26 J,L and 140 J,L per tube. Storage and retrieval of HTS master solutions with fixed sample volumes facilitate the sample logistics considerably. Upon retrieval from the Liquid Master Store, the master solutions in the 96-tube plates are thawed and transferred to 384-well plates before they enter the downstream aliquoting process. This sample-handling concept avoids repetitive freeze-thaw cycles of HTS master solutions and thereby improves the stability and integrity of the compound samples used in HTS. 

The NCBI does use a flat file approach to parse and retrieve the data in their databases and present it on the web. While the NCBI continutes to add databases, there are not as many databases available as some SRS servers, and hence it is difficult to find relationships that may exist between the data displayed and data in other databases. Since the NCBI present their data on their web site it is also not possible for other academic institutions or companies to bring the software in-house for integration of their proprietry data. 

In order to apply approaches and criteria of the kind described above, it is essential to have ready access to all the relevant information. This means that it is necessary to develop centralized data banks integrating data from environmental field studies with infcsmation from the literature in readily retrievable form to facilitate its use. It is also necessary to develop state and local registries of morbid events, especially in relation to sentinel diseases which are relatively rare and may be associated with exposure to potentially toxic chemicals in the environment. In addition, it is necessary to develop exposure-specific and site-specific registries of exposed populations and suitable control populations with provision for short-term monitoring and long-term follow up. This should be part of the general development of computerized data systems of births, deaths and... 

While end user chemists had never been involved in our in-house chemical database development, when it became practical to look at graphics alternatives, they were an integral part of the decisionmaking. A task force of information specialists, systems analysts, and chemists evaluated the course of action whether to build a graphics system in-house, or to buy existing software. Economic factors continued to prevail, and it was seen that in-house development, however much preferred from a customization standpoint, would take too long to complete. The result of several months of discussion, demonstrations and site visits, was the decision to license Molecular Design Ltd. s MACCS system, the now well-known molecular connectivity-based retrieval system.
