An example of SVM-Prot prediction of an EGFR protein sequence and the its subsequent BLAST sequence alignment analysis of the similarity proteins of the SVM-Prot predicted functional family.Li, Ying ...
Give an example of a disorder that results from changes in the amino acid sequence. What is the effect of the mutations that cause Huntington's disease on the structure of the protein? Describe an example of how the human population has ada...
Which of the following is NOT a way in which amino acid structure and sequence might affect the properties of a protein? a. Amino acid side chains form peptide bonds with each other, causing the molecule to twist into a...
The objective of this study is to identify fish protein markers for detecting multiple species based on a comparative proteomic approach that relies on fragments with identical sequences. The possibilities and challenges of the use of peptides obtained from carp (Cyprinus carpio) and herring (Clupea...
Functional information in SWISS-PROT: The basis for large-scale characterisation of protein sequences With the rapid growth of sequence databases, there is an increasing need for reliable functional characterisation and annotation of newly predicted protein...

Protein-tyrosine-phosphatases (PTP-ases), in concert with protein tyrosine kinases, control various biological activities such as cell growth and differentiation. In rodents, around 40 PTP-ases have been described. Functional orthologue for each of these PTP-ases have been identified in human, except...
Our view of how biomolecules bind one another and ligands has come a long way since Fischer first introduced the "lock-and-key" mechanism to explain how enzymes specifically bind their substrates more than a century ago. Biomolecules generally do not interact with their partners as rigid bodies;...
The Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST) finds regions of local similarity between protein or nucleotide sequences. The program compares nucleotide or protein sequences to sequence in a database and calculates the statistical significance of the matches. This chapter first provides an introduction...
Learn about amino acids and the amino acid sequence of a protein and find out its importance and how to write it. Also, study an amino acid...
A different type of clock is used, a Molecular Clock. Instead of measuring seconds, minutes, and hours, the molecular clock measures the constant rate of change in an organism's genome (DNA or protein sequences of a specific gene) over time. This constant rate of change occurs randomly amo...
