利用一种新的网上工具Scansite进行蛋白质磷酸化预测

Scansite分析软件是近两年建立的一种新的利用因特网，基于蛋白质分子中较短的模序进行蛋白质磷酸化和蛋白质蛋白质相互作用预测的工具。这里综述了Scansite的使用方法、功能介绍及与其他磷酸化分析软件的比较，并展望了Scansite在进行磷酸化预测中面临的问题和应用前景。

A Motif-based Scanning Approach for Prediction of Protein Phosphorylation

Scansite is a short linear motif based scanning approach established in the latest two years. It's accessible over the World Wide Web and can be used to identify sequence motifs likely to be phosphorylated by specific protein kinases or likely to bind to specific protein domains such as 14 3 3, SH2 and SH3 domains. The usage and function of the potent approach were reviewed and compared with previously established tools for phosphorylation prediction. The facing problems and application outlook of Scansite in prediction of cell signaling networks within proteomes were also presented.
