14. Exercise 3 1. CLONING EXPERIMENT Starting from a cloning sequence and find out which cloning vector (name, accnr, length) was used (e.g. using the tool VecScreen) Where is the insert in the given sequence located (position from-to, length) Identify the insert (name, accnr, organism, length, amino acid sequence, function) Determine the restriction enzyme (6bp cutter) used for incorporating the insert (name, sequence) Are there homolog proteins in humans (name, accnr, description, conserved domains) 2. PROTEIN 3D-STRUCTURE Show 3D protein structure of a homolog human protein (including DNA binding) (from 1) and give PDB identification code for this structure
