Abstract

Bioinformatics tools to aid gene and protein sequence analysis have become an integral part of biology in the post-genomic era. Release of the Plasmodium falciparum genome sequence has allowed biologists to define the gene and the predicted protein content as well as their sequences in the parasite. Using p/ and molecular weight as characteristics unique to each protein, we have developed a bioinformatics tool to aid identification of proteins from Plasmodium falciparum. The tool makes use of a Virtual 2-DE generated by plotting all of the proteins from the Plasmodium database on a p/ versus molecular weight scale. Proteins are identified by comparing the position of migration of desired protein spots from an experimental 2-DE and that on a virtual 2-DE. The procedure has been automated in the form of user-friendly software called "Plasmo2D".
