Beginning in mid-February 2008, the 1997-2007 online version of the Science Watch® newsletter, ESI-Topics.com, and in-cites.com, will all be featured together on the redesigned ScienceWatch.com. All previous content from the three sites will be permanently archived, and remain accessible from any existing bookmarks to the archived pages. No new content will be added to this site. Updates and new content (updated biweekly) are available at ScienceWatch.com now.

Hot Paper in Biology

"SWISS-MODEL: an automated protein homology-modeling server," by Torsten Schwede, Jurgen Kopp,
Nicolas Guex, and Manuel C. Peitsch, Nucleic Acids Research, 31(13): 3381-5, 1 July 2003.

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."

This 2003 report from Nucleic Acids Research was cited 35 times in newly published journal articles indexed by Thomson Scientific during November-December 2004. Thanks to its latest bimonthly total, this is currently the second-most-cited biology paper published in the last two years (not counting reviews). Prior to the most recent bimonthly count, citations to the paper have accrued as follows:

September-October 2004: 32 citations
July-August 2004: 28
May-June 2004: 14
March-April 2004: 12
January-February 2004: 15

Total citations to date: 139

SOURCE: Hot Papers Database (Included with a subscription to the ISI print newsletter Science 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 issue of Science Watch, six times a year. The CD also includes an electronic version of the Science Watch issue in HTML format, for personal desktop access.)
