Abstract

This proposal aims to develop techniques of natural language processing to extract data from free text sources in order to facilitate protein stucture analysis. The work will concentrate on extracting information concerning the roles of particular amino acid residues in known three- dimensional protein structures. The ultimate objective will be to produce a WWW-based searchable knowledge base of the roles of the important residues in each protein structure in the Protein Data Bank.
