Bioinformatics: Sequence, Structure and Databanks

About this book

Bioinformatics: Sequence, Structure and Databanks covers practical, 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: Sequence, Structure and Databanks will be invaluable to occasional users of these techniques as well as experienced professionals or researchers.
