BIND: Biomolecular Interaction Network Database
- BIND comes from the Samuel
Lunenfeld Research Institute University of Toronto, and is described
by its creators thusly:
- The Biomolecular Interaction Network Database (BIND) is a database
designed to store full descriptions of interactions, molecular
complexes and pathways. Development of the BIND 2.0 data model has led
to the incorporation of virtually all components of molecular
mechanisms including interactions between any two molecules composed
of proteins, nucleic acids and small molecules. Chemical reactions,
photochemical activation and conformational changes can also be
described. Everything from small molecule biochemistry to signal
transduction is abstracted in such a way that graph theory methods may
be applied for data mining. The database can be used to study networks
of interactions, to map pathways across taxonomic branches and to
generate information for kinetic simulations. BIND anticipates the
coming large influx of interaction information from high-throughput
proteomics efforts including detailed information about
post-translational modifications from mass spectrometry.
