Contents:
This course will introduce online and open-source resources such as databases and tools to explore and analyze protein sequences and structures. A large part of the course will focus on the participant-led practical activities.
The preliminary content of the course:
Part-1: Protein databases and sequence analysis
– Protein databases: NCBI and UniProt
– Human protein atlas
– Antibodypedia
– EMBOSS toolkits
– Gene Ontology
– BLAST software package
– HMMER
– Multiple sequence alignments
– Jalview for motif visualization
Part-2: Protein structure analysis
– Secondary vs tertiary structure vs protein complexes
– PDB structure database
– Structure visualization by Chimera version-2
– Secondary and tertiary structure prediction
– Domain databases: InterPro, Pfam, SCOP etc.
– Intrinsically disordered region
– Eukaryotic Linear Motif (ELM)
– IUPRED
– Protein-protein interaction: STRING, BioGrid etc.
– Prediction of transmembrane helices in proteins
Part-3: Case study
– Participant-driven group activities
– Group presentations
Prerequisites:
– Basic knowledge of protein sequences and structures
– Interest in basic bioinformatics based analysis
Keywords:
Proteins, BLAST HMMER, PFAM
