Thanks to my biochemistry students, Nicolas Guex, and online users of this tutorial for your Gale Rhodes, 3rd Edition, Academic Press, February 2006. Presents MOLECULAR MODELING FOR BEGINNERSĪ Guide for Users of Macromolecular Models If you see unfamiliar terms pertaining to the genes, mRNAs, and proteins used as examples here, break out your biochemistry text, head for the index, and review, review, review.įor more information about each database or tool, go to its home page and read, read, read. I assume that you are conversant with biochemistry and molecular biology. If you want to learn more, including vital guidance in judging the quality of your results, I recommend you turn next to Bioinformatics for Dummies, by Claverie and Notredame, Wiley Publishing, Inc., 2007. Please realize that this tutorial merely scratches the surface of what you need to know in order to use bioinformatics wisely in your research. You can follow up this tutorial with a study of opsins from other organisms, or by exploring any class of biomolecules that interest you. While learning about the human opsins, you will use some of today’s most powerful bioinformatics tools, and you will even build a model of a protein whose detailed structure is unknown (called homology modeling).
But the real subject of this exercise is bioinformatics - the use of computers to search for, explore, and use information about genes, nucleic acids, and proteins.
SWISS PDB VIEWER FOR MAC CODE
This tutorial allows you to explore opsins - the proteins that catch light for our eyes - and the genes that code for opsins.
