The hierarchy of biological organism From “molecule” to “organism”
4
The micro environment: Cell
5
DNA vs. chromosome DNA Chromosome
6
Central dogma: the story of life RNA DNA Protein
7
DNA structure Atomic structure Double helix
8
The basic unit in DNA A T GC
9
From DNA to Protein 1. Transcription 2. Translation
10
Step1: Transcription, generation of mRNA
11
Amino acid carrier: tRNA Step2: Translation, protein assembly
12
Peptide bond formation Peptide Chain
13
Protein structure Primary Secondary Tertiary Quaternary
14
The bonds contribute to protein structure 1. Hydrogen bond 2. Hydrophobic interaction 3. Ionic bond 4. Disulfide bond
15
Proteins are the molecule tools for most cellular functions
16
What is “bioinformatics”? Let’s take minutes to see the hot topic” bioinformatics
17
What is “bioinformatics”? (Molecular) Bio – informatics One idea for a definition? Bioinformatics is conceptualizing biology in terms of molecules (in the sense of physical-chemistry) and then applying “informatics” techniques (derived from disciplines such as applied math and statistics) to understand and organize the information associated with these molecules, on a large-scale. Bioinformatics is “MIS” for Molecular Biology Information. It is a practical discipline with many applications.

Bioinformatics - History 1980 2005 2000 1990 1985 1995 Single Structures Modeling & Geometry Forces & Simulation Docking Sequences, Sequence-Structure Relationships Alignment Structure Prediction Fold recognition Genomics Dealing with many sequences Gene finding & Genome Annotation Databases Integrative Analysis Expression & Proteomics Data Data mining Simulation again….

20
What bioinformatics can do for us?
21
Example: Drug Discovery Target Identification –Which protein to inhibit? Lead discovery & optimization –What sort of molecule will bind to this protein? Toxicology –Side effects, target specificity Pharmacokinetics –Metabolization and transport
22
Drug Development Life Cycle Years 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 Discovery (2 to 10 Years) Preclinical Testing (Lab and Animal Testing) Phase I (20-30 Healthy Volunteers used to check for safety and dosage) Phase II (100-300 Patient Volunteers used to check for efficacy and side effects) Phase III (1000-5000 Patient Volunteers used to monitor reactions to long-term drug use) FDA Review & Approval Post-Marketing Testing $600-700 Million! With the aid of bioinformatics 7-15 years
23
Drug lead screening 5,000 to 10,000 compounds screened 250 Lead Candidates in Preclinical Testing 5 Drug Candidates enter Clinical Testing; 80% Pass Phase I One drug approved by the FDA 30%Pass Phase II 80% Pass Phase III

25
Introduction to proteomics
26
What’s “proteomics” ? "The analysis of the entire protein complement expressed by a genome, or by a cell or tissue type.“ Wasinger VC et al Progress with gene-product mapping of the mollicutes: Mycoplasma genitalium. Electrophoresis 16 (1995) 1090-1094 Two most applied technologies: 1. 2-D electrophoresis: separation of complex protein mixtures 2. Mass spectrometry: Identification and structure analysis
27
Why proteomics becomes an important discipline Significant DNA sequencing results: –45 microorganism genomes have been sequenced and 170 more are in progress –5 eukaryotes have been completed Saccharomyces cerevisiae Schizosaccharomyces pombe Arabodopsis thaliana Caenorhabditis elegans Drosophilia melanogaster Rice, Mouse and Human are nearly done However, 2/3 of all genes “identified” have no known function However, 2/3 of all genes “identified” have no known function
28
Only DNA sequence is not enoughStructureRegulationInformation Computers cannot determine which of these 3 roles DNA play solely based on sequence (although we would all like to believe they can) Those are what we need to know about proteins
29
Introduction to ProteomicsDefinitions –1. Classical - restricted to large scale analysis of gene products involving only proteins (small view) –2. Inclusive - combination of protein studies with analyses that have genetic components such as mRNA, genomics, and yeast two-hybrid (bigger view) Don’t forget that the proteome is dynamic, changing to reflect the environment that the cell is in.
30
1 gene = 1protein? 1 gene is no longer equal to one protein The definition of a gene is debatable..(ORF, promoter, pseudogene, gene product, etc) 1 gene = how many proteins? (never known)
31
Why Proteomics?
32
Differential protein expression Scenario 1: can be analyzed by microarray technology DNA RNAProtein Transcription Translation x1 x4 DNA RNAProtein Transcription Translation x3 Stimulus DNA RNAProtein Transcription Translation x3 Stimulus Scenario 2: can be solved by proteomics technology
33
Co- and Post-translational modification Co-translational modifiedPost-translational modified
34
What proteomics can answer Protein identification Protein Expression Studies Protein Function Protein Post-Translational Modification Protein Localization and Compartmentalization Protein-Protein Interactions
35
General classification for Proteomics Protein Expression comparison (beginning) – –Quantitative study of protein expression between samples that differ by some variable Structural Proteomics (simulation) – –Goal is to map out the 3-D structure of proteins and protein complexes Functional Proteomics (everything) – –To study protein-protein interaction, 3-D structures, cellular localization and PTMS in order to understand the physiological function of the whole set of proteome.
