Proteins and Genome Analysis

Contents: Preface. 1. Protein classification and structure prediction. 2. Genome analysis. Bibliography.

"This book deals with the issues of proteins and genome. There are a number of methods for predicting protein structure from amino acid sequence. The best approach is to locate a link by sequence analysis between a new protein and a protein of known structure. Even a marginal sequence alignment with a protein of known structure can provide a feasible structural model. The analysis of genomes offers an additional opportunity for protein analysis. Functions of proteins can be discovered through conserved patterns of gene regulation and organisation on the chromosomes of related organisms." (jacket)
