TransAtlas Ontology

A strong requirement to organize any knowledge field is the agreement in the terminology used. This has been a concern in Bioinformatics and has led to the development of a number of ontologies describing several aspects of the discipline (see J. Ison et al., Bioinformatics, 29, 1325-1332., M. Ashburner et al, Nature Genetics, 25, 25-29., or J. Hastings et al, NAR, 41, D456-D463). Here we have developed a partial ontology to describe protein conformational transitions. The contents of such ontology is used to classify conformational transitions, and power the search facility. TransAtlas Browsing page (see browsing section of this help), and simulation descriptors (see descriptors section of this help) include the set of keywords derived from the ontology as well as the set of descriptors used to define it.
