Question

ExPASY is a comprehensive proteomics web server with a suite of programs for searching peptide information from the SWISS-PROT and TrEMBL databases.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was addressed to me during an interview for a job.

My question is based upon Technology of Protein Expression Analysis in chapter Functional Genomics & Proteomics of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The best explanation: There are twelve database search tools in this server dedicated to protein identification based on MS data. For example, the AACompIdent program identifies proteins based on pI, MW, and amino acid composition and compares these values with theoretical compositions of all proteins in SWISS-PROT/TrEMBL.
