Virtual Design and Construction is the management of integrated multi-disciplinary performance models of design-construction projects, including the product, work processes and organization of the design - construction - operation team in order to support explicit and public business objectives. The theoretical basis of VDC includes: Engineering modeling methods: product, organization, process Analysis methods - Model-based design: including quantities, schedule, cost, 4D interactions and proces
Database of protein domains, families and functional sites. PROSITE consists of documentation entries describing protein domains, families and functional sites as well as associated patterns and profiles to identify them [More... / References / Commercial users].
A protease (also called peptidase or proteinase) is any enzyme that performs proteolysis, that is, begins protein catabolism by hydrolysis of the peptide bonds that link amino acids together in a polypeptide chain.n up to date classification of protease evolutionary superfamilies is found in the MEROPS database. In this database, proteases are classified firstly by 'clan' (superfamily) based on structure, mechanism and catalytic residue order (e.g. the PA clan where P indicates a mixture of nucleophile families).
