POSTER
ACTIVITY (30 minutes)
Find the amino acid sequence for the protein involved
with the phenotype, condition or disease you have chosen. Display the sequence
in FASTA format, copy and paste it into the BLAST query window.
Find out as much as you can about the conserved
domains:
-
their structure.
-
their function.
-
their inclusion in the architecture of related proteins.
-
their evolutionary relationships.
From the BLAST hit list, find out as much as you
can about the similar proteins:
-
their structure, and visualizations of them in Cn3D.
-
their biology and function from the "Gene" database.
There is no minimum or maximum amount of information
to find - in the real world, the only criterion of quality is to do
as much as necessary to do the job right.
Examine and compile all relevant information.
Print
all information which you think may be useful for your Poster, and save
it for later use.
