Researchers at Johns Hopkins took advantage of a new technique that reads the makeup of proteins to identify nearly all chemical changes nature makes by adding phosphate to proteins manufactured in human cells.The Hopkins team then added its list of these so-called phosphorylation events to lists compiled by others and created a publicly available database on the Web - PhosphoMotif Finder [ http://www.hprd.org/PhosphoMotif_finder ] - to help speed the work of researchers around the world.>>> Discuss This Story
