The intricate network of structural interactions, which couple local electrostatic changes during ATP hydrolysis to global conformational and dynamic changes in [[SecA]], form the foundation of the allosteric mechanochemistry that efficiently harnesses the chemical energy stored in ATP to drive complex mechanical processes.

New procedure for account creation:

  • Due to massive spam attacks, we had to change our policy for the creation of accounts. If you want to create an account, just send me a mail. We will create the account for you as quickly as possible, then you can change your password. This does not affect existing accounts, which remain active.
  • Please remember that all members of the Bacillus community are invited to create accounts and to contribute to SubtiWiki!



News in SubtiWiki:

  • November 2012: updated Excel files that map all genes to categories and regulons as well as the general updated identity mapping of all genes were uploaded.
  • October 2012: the essential genes have been categorized
  • September 2012: 300 mutant strains available at the BGSC were added to the corresponding gene pages
  • August 2012: SubtiExpress, the new compagnon of SubtiWiki devoted to gene expression is online! Try it out!
  • April 2012: Links for expression data under 104 different conditions (based on Nicolas et al., 2012) have been added to the expression section of the individual gene pages
  • April 2011: SubtInteract, a presentation of protein-protein interactions in B. subtilis, is online!
  • December 2010: SubtiCellPublisher allows the conversion of CellDesigner diagrams to navigatable presentations in the style of SubtiPathways
  • December 2010: all genes are linked to regulons, and the pages of the regulons provide an overview on all genes that are members of this specific regulon.
  • December 2010: all genes/proteins are linked to categories, and the pages of the categories provide an overview on all genes/proteins that are members of this specific category.
