Abstract: "SWISS-MODEL (http://swissmodel.expasy.org)
is a server for automated comparative modeling of
three-dimensional (3D) protein structures. It pioneered the field of automated
modeling starting in 1993 and is the
most widely-used free web-based automated modeling facility today. In 2002 the
server computed 120 000 user
requests for 3D protein models. SWISS-MODEL provides several levels of user
interaction through its World Wide
Web interface: in the 'first approach mode' only an amino acid sequence of a
protein is submitted to build a 3D model. Template selection, alignment and
model building are done completely automated by the server. In the 'alignment
mode', the modeling process is based on a user-defined target-template
alignment. Complex modeling tasks can be handled with the 'project mode' using
DeepView (Swiss-PdbViewer), an integrated sequence-to-structure workbench. All
models are sent back via email with a detailed modeling report. WhatCheck
analyses and ANOLEA evaluations are provided optionally. The reliability of
SWISS-MODEL is continuously evaluated in the EVA-CM project. The SWISS-MODEL
server is under constant development to improve the successful implementation
of expert knowledge into an easy-to-use server."

Watch®, available from the ISI
Research Services Group. Packaged on a CD-ROM that is mailed with each Science
Watch issue, the Hot
Papers Database contains data on hundreds of highly cited papers published
during the last two years. User interface permits searching by author,
organization, journal, field, and more. Total citations, as well as citations
accrued during successive bimonthly periods, can be assessed and graphed. An
updated CD containing the most recent bimonthly data is mailed with every new
