Macromolecular 3D structure
What is a data base
A structured collection: of data held in
computer storage; esp. one that
incorporates software to make it accessible
in a variety of ways; transf., any large
collection of information.
database management: the organization
and manipulation of data in a database.
database management system
(DBMS): a software package that
provides all the functions required for
database management. Primary
databases: experimental results directly
Nucleotide and protein sequence database
Nucleotide Databases:
EMBL( European Molecular Biology
Laboratory).
GenBank.
DDBJ–DNA Data Bank of Japan.
Protein Databases:
SWISS-PROT, PIR (sequences).
PROSITE, PRINTS(sequence motifs.)
HSSP, FSSP(classification, alignment).
PDB (3-D structure).
Software Tools for Sequence Analysis
What might we want
to know about a Nucleotide sequence?
Is this sequence similar to any known genes? How close
is the best match? Significance?
What do we know about that gene?
Genomic (chromosomal location, allelic information, etc.)
Evolutionary information:
Is this gene found in other organisms?
What is its taxonomic tree?
Recognition sites might be common:
restriction enzymes, start sequences, stop sequences, other
regulatory sequences.
Types of Mutations
- Insertions
- Deletions
- Substitutions'
PRIMER DISEGIN
What might we want
to know about a proteins sequence?
Conserved regions
Structural motif
Functional domains
Homologous proteins
Evolutionary common origin
Structural similarity
Functional similarity
Any Quotations?
