From Sequence to Structure
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The genomics revolution is providing gene sequences in exponentially increasing numbers. Converting this sequence information into functional information for the gene products coded by these sequences is the challenge for post-genomic biology. The first step in this process will often be the interpretation of a protein sequence in terms of the threedimensional structure into which it folds. This chapter summarizes the basic concepts that underlie the relationship between sequence and structure and provides an overview of the architecture of proteins. 1

In Silico Analysis of Primary Sequence and Tertiary Structure of Lepidium Draba Peroxidase
Peroxidase enzymes are vastly applicable in industry and diagnosiss. Recently, we introduced a new kind of peroxidase gene from Lepidium draba (LDP). According to protein multiple sequence alignment results, LDP had 93% similarity and 88.96% identity with horseradish peroxidase C1A (HRP C1A). In the current study we employed in silico tools to determine, to which group of peroxidase enzymes LDP...
متن کاملIdentification of metallothionein gene structure in sterlet (Acipenser ruthenus)
Aquatic organisms present, not only simple sources of accumulated metal, but can interact with metals, altering their toxicity. Due to exposition of biosphere with metals, organisms have developed various defense mechanisms to protect themselves against adverse effects of these ions and their compounds. Metallothionein (MT) is one of that which represents a critical mechanism for detoxification...
متن کاملGenetic Structure of SSR1 & SSR2 loci from Iranian Mycobacterium Avium Subspecies Paratuberculosis Isolates by a Short Sequence Repeat Analysis Approach
Abstract Background and Objective: Paratuberculosis has been repeatedly reported from Iranian ruminant herds. The extrem fastidious nature of Mycobacterium avium subspecies paratuberculsos hinders genomic diversity studies of the pathogen. Short Sequence Repeat analysis is one of the genome-based approches recently developed to overcome this d...
متن کاملComparison of the Lipophosphoglycan 3 Gene of the Lizard and Mammalian Leishmania: A Homology Modeling
Background: Lipophosphoglycan 3 (LPG3) is required for the LPG assembly, a well known virulent molecule. In this study, the LPG3 gene of the lizard and mammalian Leishmania species were cloned and sequenced. A three-dimensional structure (3D) for the target sequence was also predicted by comparative (homology) modeling. Materials and Methods: An optimization PCR amplification was performed o...
متن کاملRelation Between RNA Sequences, Structures, and Shapes via Variation Networks
Background: RNA plays key role in many aspects of biological processes and its tertiary structure is critical for its biological function. RNA secondary structure represents various significant portions of RNA tertiary structure. Since the biological function of RNA is concluded indirectly from its primary structure, it would be important to analyze the relations between the RNA sequences and t...
متن کاملMolecular characterization of apolipoprotein A-I from the skin mucosa of Cyprinus carpio
Apolipoprotein A-I is the most abundant protein in Cyprinus carpio plasma that plays an important role in lipid transport and protection of the skin by means of its antimicrobial activity. A 527 bp cDNA fragment encoding C terminus part of apoA-I from the skin mucosa of common carp was isolated using RT-PCR. After GenBank database searching, a partial sequence containing a coding sequence (CDS)...
