– Exercises
– Course assignments
– Instructions for computer use
Mode of work
• Course assignments
– Two sequences assigned to each team
• Sessions (12-16)
– Demonstrations (~ 1 hour)
– Practical exercises
• Structured questions
• You should first try yourself, then ask team mate, then ask instructor
• Discuss results with team mate
– Try out tools on your assigned sequences during the course
• Second-last session reserved solely for working on course
assignments
• Presentations
– Course grade based on presentation (2 March)
• Two sequence assignments per team
Objectives
• Infer function and/or structure starting from
the amino acid sequence of a query
protein
– Identify related sequences, place in family
– Identify conserved positions in sequence and
structure
• Learn to use representative web-based
tools
• No programming, no Unix/Linux
Introduction
• Most cellular functions are performed or
facilitated by proteins.
– Primary biocatalyst
– Cofactor transport/storage
– Mechanical motion/support
– Immune protection
– Control of growth/differentiation

What can sequence analysis do?
• Homology
– Inference of inherited complex features: what is
conserved is important
– Most powerful approach
– Good tertiary structure prediction
• Diagnostic patterns
– E.g. subcellular localization signals
• Physical preferences
– Good secondary structure prediction
– Prediction of transmembrane segments
– Poor ab initio tertiary structure prediction
Application: Finding Homologs
Application:
Finding Homologues
• Find Similar Ones in Different Organisms
• Human vs. Mouse vs. Yeast
– Easier to do Expts. on latter!

Flowchart
Course assignments
• Goal: using the flowchart, what can you
say, with what confidence, about the
structure and function of the protein?
• Max length of presentation is 25 minutes.
No need to dwell on negative results.
• More detailed guidelines given in Session
7.
Teams
Team n, n=1,…,12, works on both sequence_nA
and sequence_nB
•
A and B sequences have been selected to
present different challenges. The team members
should work together on both sequences,
discussing the findings between them and
making notes for the final report (presentation).
