Congratulations to the Pistoia Alliance for winning this year’s Bio-IT World Best Practices Award for Informatics<\/a> for the development of HELM, the Hierarchical Editing Language for Macromolecules. As NextMove’s Sugar & Splice<\/a> was cited in the submission as supporting HELM, we can claim a small part in helping them achieve this recognition.<\/p>\n

Handling and interconverting peptide representations was also the topic of Lisa Sach-Peltason’s talk, “Peptide Informatics – Bridging the gap between small-molecule and large-molecule systems<\/a>“. She described the peptide registration system that Roche have developed, in which Sugar & Splice has played a major role. One of the many challenges is that although non-standard amino acids make up 7% by frequency of amino acids used by Roche, over 88% of their peptides contain at least one non-standard amino acid.
