NCBI Taxonomy Updates to Prokaryotes
As previously announced, NCBI is continuing to improve our Taxonomy resource. The International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes (ICNP) recently introduced changes to the code of nomenclature that governs naming of prokaryotes. Following these changes, we are updating the higher-level classification of prokaryotes with the introduction of rank ‘kingdom’ and other changes for this group. The changes … Continue reading NCBI Taxonomy Updates to Prokaryotes
Viewing Ligand-Protein Interactions in iCn3D
Are you interested in viewing how a protein interacts with a ligand? iCn3D, our 3D molecular structure viewer, now offers improved displays of these interactions at an atomic level. Check out this example: You are now able to see the interactions of an embedded ligand (such as the drug Gleevec in the protein ABL2) within … Continue reading Viewing Ligand-Protein Interactions in iCn3D
