Sequence alignment for molecular replacement
This article focuses on the key step of obtaining the best possible sequence alignment of the Query (the protein you are interested in) to the Target (a protein of known three-dimensional structure) in order to build a molecular model for molecular replacement. Common sequence-alignment methods are discussed, starting from structural alignment and then moving to pairwise, multiple and profile-p...
متن کاملMolecular Homology and Sequence Alignment
Phylogenetic analysis depends crucially on the data underlying the analysis, with issues of data quality being but one aspect of the problem. A second, slightly less appreciated aspect is that of data comparability and specifically the evolutionary homology (= derivation from a common shared ancestry) of the individual characters being examined. The goal of sequence alignment is to establish th...
متن کاملSequence alignment in molecular biology
Molecular biology is becoming a computationally intense realm of contemporary science and faces some of the current grand scientific challenges. In its context, tools that identify, store, compare and analyze effectively large and growing numbers of bio-sequences are found of increasingly crucial importance. Biosequences are routinely compared or aligned, in a variety of ways, to infer common a...
متن کاملThe importance of alignment accuracy for molecular replacement.
Many crystallographic protein structures are being determined using molecular replacement (MR), a model-based phasing method that has become increasingly important with the steady growth of the PDB. While there are several highly automated software packages for MR, the methods for preparing optimal search models for MR are relatively unexplored. Recent advances in sequence-comparison methods al...
متن کاملA genetic algorithm for multiple molecular sequence alignment
MOTIVATION Multiple molecular sequence alignment is among the most important and most challenging tasks in computational biology. The currently used alignment techniques are characterized by great computational complexity, which prevents their wider use. This research is aimed at developing a new technique for efficient multiple sequence alignment. APPROACH The new method is based on genetic ...
