Title: Expasy Proteomics Tools
URL: http://ca.expasy.org/tools/
Description: This site provides a collection of tools that help to identify, characterize,
and analyze protein when the user has different kinds of information on the protein. For
example, you can identify a protein based on amino acid composition, isoelectric point,
and MS/MS data. There are tools to translate DNA sequence to protein sequence, predict
MW or pI of a protein, do BLAST, align sequences, and predict post translational
modification.
Strengths: Expasy Proteomics Tools provide much of the tools you would need to
analyze or identify a protein, making it convenient to come to only one website instead of
having to go to different ones for different kinds of analysis.
Weaknesses: It will be nice to have links to search for interaction partners of proteins of
interest or pathways that the proteins of interest are in.
Comprehensiveness: Contains large number of tools covering many aspects of protein
analysis and prediction.
Timeliness: Depends on which tool you are using. Many of the tools are just links of
other websites, which could be slow.
Ease of use: Easy to navigate the site to find different tools since there are big categories
(like DNA  Protein, Secondary Structure Prediction) to direct you.
Responsiveness: Quick
