Congratulation to GNOBB member Taufiq-Ur-Rahman

Dhaka, 26th Feb'09 GNOBB Heartily congratulate Dr. Taufiq-ur-Rahman and coauthors for their recent paper published in Nature as advanced online publication. He is working as a research associate in Pharmacology Department of University of Cambridge on single channel analysis of IP3 receptor, an intracellular calcium channel that is activated by the second messenger IP3. in this paper, they have shown that the ligand sensitivity of these channel proteins is modulated by their aggregation and  this aggregation-induced altered ligand-sensitivity makes these channel proteins better-poised to ensure efficient propagation of calcium signal from local to global level.

GNOBB congratulate Dr. Abdur R. Sikder for his recent publication

Dhaka the 20th Feb.'09.  GNOBB congratulate  GNOBB member Dr. Abdur Sikder currently working as a Visiting Scientist  at the Centre of Excellence, DU and the coauthor Dr. Albert Y. Zomaya at the School of Information Technologies, University of Sydney, Australia for their recent paper on Analysis of protein phosphorylation site predictors with an independent dataset in the  "Int. J. of Bioinformatics Research and Applications". The in silico prediction of phosphorylation sites using protein's primary sequences may provide guidelines for further experimental pursuit and interpretation of phosphoproteomic data. His research group has developed an independent dataset to compare the methods used by such available protein kinase family prediction tools, thus providing the scientists with a better understanding  as to which method to use for their research.
