I took biochem in 2001, and for nearly 20 years read amino acid sequences daily… and I never knew Dayhoff named them or even the logic behind things like Q until last Friday (h/t Mike Janech). Also, this is another big Dayhoff moment for me. She was incredible! #proteomics #bioinformatics

PhosX is out! doi.org/10.1093/bioi... Leveraging the latest kinase specificity maps by the Cantley, Yaffe, and Turk labs and a rank sum statistic we created PhosX so now we can predict activities for nearly all kinases in your phosphodata, including the understudied ones. Check it out!
