A Method to Identify Protein Sequences that Fold into a Known
... protein sequence has little meaning outside the context of its 3D structure. The disparity is less severe than the numbers might suggest, however, because different proteins often adopt similar 3D folds (1, 2). As a result, each new protein structure can serve as a model for other protein structures ...

Back-translation Using First Order Hidden Markov Models
... Definition 1 We will define back-translation as the conceptual idea of reversing the translation process (i.e. the process by which an mRNA strand is sequenced, given a particular protein). We will refer to this process as the function, B: Protein → mRNA. Basically, during translation, an mRNA stran ...

Two-hybrid screening
Two-hybrid screening (also known as yeast two-hybrid system or Y2H) is a molecular biology technique used to discover protein–protein interactions (PPIs) and protein–DNA interactions by testing for physical interactions (such as binding) between two proteins or a single protein and a DNA molecule, respectively.The premise behind the test is the activation of downstream reporter gene(s) by the binding of a transcription factor onto an upstream activating sequence (UAS). For two-hybrid screening, the transcription factor is split into two separate fragments, called the binding domain (BD) and activating domain (AD). The BD is the domain responsible for binding to the UAS and the AD is the domain responsible for the activation of transcription. The Y2H is thus a protein-fragment complementation assay.
