  • Publication number: 20080281864
    Abstract: A graphical user interface that generates a molecule function network with an arbitrary range according to the designation by a user and displays the said molecule function network graphically; a graphical user interface with a molecule network window which displays a molecule network included in the molecule function network and an information window which displays one or more information items selected form a group comprising molecules, molecule pairs and bio-events included in the said molecule function network, which is characterized by that items in the molecule network window and in the information window related with each other are operated interlinked with each other. A molecule function network with information on bio-events including pathological events can be processed and displayed flexibly using a computer.

  • Publication number: 20060004706
    Abstract: A method of generating a molecule-function network comprising a step of a connect search using a database which stores information on biomolecules hierarchized by one or more items including items selected from a group consisting of modification state, active or inactive state, complexation state, and structural change. By using the biomolecule-linkage database of the present invention, which is a collection of information on biomolecule pairs including bio-events, it is possible to generate a molecule-function network with a necessary range which is a functional or biosynthetic linkage between molecules and to predict bio-events to which an arbitrary biomolecule is related directly or indirectly.

  • Publication number: 20050049795
    Abstract: A method of reading biological sequence information comprising a step of judging similarity between biological sequence information as a target of reading and biological sequence information registered in a user side database, and a step of displaying the former information together with the biological sequence information registered in the user side database which is judged to have a similar sequence, and optionally comprising a step of registering the biological information as a target of reading in the user side database.

  • Publication number: 20040137432
    Abstract: A method for selecting lead-candidate compounds capable of binding to a receptor biopolymer from a database containing information about atomic types and mode of covalent bonds of compounds by using a computer, comprising a step of selecting candidate compounds from compounds stored in the database based on quantitative, two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional information of one or more query molecules capable of binding to the biopolymer. The query molecules can be obtained by an automatic structure construction method, for example. The lead-candidate compounds capable of binding to the biopolymer can be retrieved rapidly by using an ordinary personal computer or workstation without requiring huge calculation.
