Bioinformatics: Sequence, Structure and Databanks: A Practical Approach (The Practical Approach Series)

This title covers important topics in the analysis of protein sequences and structures. It includes comparing amino acid sequences to structures comparing structures to each other, searching information on entire protein families as well as searching with single sequences, how to use the Internet and how to set up and use the SRS molecular biology database management system. Finally, there are chapters on multiple sequence alignment and protein secondary structure prediction. Bioinformatics will be invaluable to occasional users of these techniques as well as experienced professionals or resea. Read more...

As the attempts to sequence entire genomes increases the number of protein sequences by a factor of two each year, the gap between sequence and structural information stored in public databases is growing rapidly.
