Preader is freeware and used to measure, analyze and store and cross
analyze data from physiological experiments - mainly wholecell
experiments,
but the database part is independent and includes a wealth of utilities
which is extremely useful for any phys or molbiol lab.
We are working on an advanced non-linear curvefitting model that will
improve the kinetic information that can be obtained from a whole cell
current. The algorithm will search through the whole cell current and
break it into pieces and then extract the rate constants descriping
following
kinetic scheme :
Closed <---> Open <---> Desensitized
The Interactive Explorer is a high tech help file that gives you the
settings of your program and explains them. It also includes various
other
help features which includes theory for common physiological terms,
molecular biology, constants, equations, cells + much more
Preader have been broken up and the newest branch is called Pbase and it
covers the database part and it includes following tables :
Chemicals : Name,Formula,MW,Solvent,Solubility,PKa(if acid or base),
dPK/C
+ more
Solutions : Recipe database that creates excellent recipies and
printouts.
Automatic lookup in chemical database
Agonist/Antagonist : Name, effect, chemicalstructure (path to picture),
interactionchart (path to picture), ChemIndex (lookup ID to chemical
database), References (list of references), EC50, IC50, Ka, Occupancy,
pD2,pA2, Kb, pKb, shieldSlope
Other tables included :
Phys data
Primers
PCR setup
RT setup
Taq setup
