Special Issue: Software tools and databases for protein science
We are seeking high-quality original contributions and reviews describing novel bioinformatics
applications and databases and their application to solving real life problems in modern protein
science research.
Thematic areas include, but are not limited to:
- Protein sequence analysis, comparison, and function prediction
- Protein structure analysis and prediction
- Protein evolution
- Molecular modeling and simulation
- Interactions of proteins with other proteins, DNA, RNAs, and small compounds
- Post-translational modifications
- Translation
- Computational proteomics
- Disease informatics
- Systems biology
- Data integration and knowledge management.
All tools and databases must be publicly available without any restrictions at the time of
submission.

Frank Eisenhaber
Frank Eisenhaber studied at the Humboldt-University Berlin, the Pirogov Medical University Moscow and received the PhD in molecular biology from the Engelhardt Institute of Molecular Biology Moscow 1988. He worked at the EMBL in Heidelberg (1991-1999), the Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) Vienna (1999-2007) and at A*STAR Singapore (since 2007). During 2007-2020, he was the Executive Director of the Bioinformatics Institute of A*STAR. Frank Eisenhaber’s research interest is focused on the discovery of new biomolecular mechanisms from biological/medical data and the functional characterization of yet uncharacterized genes and pathways.
