| Abstract | The activation of cysteine proteases, calpain and caspase-3, which orchestrate the two major types of cell death, necrosis and apoptosis in various neurological and neurodegenerative disorders, drive cleavage of susceptible cellular proteins whose Breakdown Products (BDPs) can be utilized as biochemical markers; these markers can distinguish the molecular root causes among different types of neural cell death. There is an immense need to make such distinction between calpain and caspase-dependant dominated types of cell injury which is crucial in order to identify the injury mechanisms; thus, creating opportunities for neurotherapy development. Calpain protease is activated in various necrotic and apoptotic conditions generating calpain-specific cleaved fragments, while caspase-3 is predominantly activated in neuronal apoptosis generating caspase-3-specific cleaved fragments. Yet, despite the difference in cleavage specificity between calpain and caspase, some cellular proteins are dually susceptible to both proteases in some neurotoxic challenges such as hypoxia-hypoglycemia and excitotoxin treatment. During their activation, it is difficult to identify the resulting fragments despite the advanced experimental proteomics techniques in the field of degradomics. Current approaches rely on experimental techniques involving western blotting technique coupled with protein sequencing to identify the sequence specific and fragmentation site of the specific BDP(s). The main purpose of this work is to establish a new efficient and accurate methodological tool based on dynamic programming to predict those BDPs computationally with an algorithm of space complexity O(mn) and time complexity O(NN'mn), where the comprised parameters correspond to number of protein sequences, number of consensus sequences, length of each protein sequence, and length of each consensus sequence, respectively. The current algorithm is based on a modification of the Cleaved Fragments Prediction Algorithm (CFPA) and achieves high homology with experimental results. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
