Abstract Proteomic identification of protease cleavage site specificity (PICS) is a recent proteomic approach for the easy mapping of protease subsite preferences that determines both the prime- and non-prime side specificity concurrently. Here we greatly facilitate user access by providing an automated and simple web-based data-analysis resource termed WebPics (http://clipserve.clip.ubc.ca/pics/). We demonstrate the utility of WebPics analysis of PICS data by determining the substrate specificity of factor Xa from P6-P6’, an important blood coagulation protease that proteolytically generates thrombin from prothrombin. PICS confirms existing data on non-prime site specificity and refines our knowledge of factor Xa prime-site selectivity.

Creating invisibility with superconducting materials
A new study published in the De Gruyter journal Nanophotonics by lead authors Huanyang Chen at Xiamen University, China, and Qiaoliang Bao, suggests the use of the material Molybdenum Trioxide (α-MoO3) to replace expensive and difficult to produce metamaterials in the emerging technology of ... more
Is it time to abandon the Nobel Prize?
In a commentary piece authors Clare Fiala and Eleftherios P. Diamandis spawned a debate now further nourished by recent disclosures. Fiala and Diamandis argue that it is time to abandon the Nobel Prize in favor of alternative recognitions which encompass the collaborative nature of modern s ... more
