1
Protein Secondary Structure, Bioinformatics Tools, and Multiple Sequence Alignments Finding Similar Sequences Predicting Secondary Structures Predicting Protein Folds (Tertiary Structures)
13
Tools for Identifying Protein Domains based only on Primary Sequence: PROSITE
16
What is the local sequence preference: -helix or -strand or random?
17
Tools for finding Similar Proteins: FASTA Also identifies reported crystal structures
18
Alternative Site: BLAST identifies Similar Proteins
21
Sequence Alignment Matrix Sequence A: VATTPDKSWLTV Sequence B: ASTPERASWLGTA VATTPDK-SWLTV- |*||** ||| -ASTPERASWLGTA score 39 VATTPDK-SWL-TV |*||** ||| |* -ASTPERASWLGTA score 45
22
Multiple Sequence Alignment Sequence A: LTLTLTLT Sequence B: HAHAHAHAH Sequence C: THTHTHTHT LTLTLTLT- HAHAHAHAH score -4 -LTLTLTLT HAHAHAHAH score 0 -LTLTLTLT- | | | | THTHTHTHT- | | | | -HAHAHAHAH The third sequence from a homologous protein allows alignment It’s a very good idea to have more than one template!
23
Multiple Sequence Alignment Can also display helices, beta-sheets; buried vs exposed; Look for a consensus of different methods, etc
26
Conclusions Bioinformatics Tools: Can be based on Statistical Analysis, or Scoring, or Physics Sequence matching is the realm of computer science more than chemistry/biochemistry Biochemistry/Chemistry is fundamental to 3D structure prediction
