Hypothesis Bioinformatics-what is it? DATA Acquisition, curation, and analysis of biological data INFORMATION KNOWLEDGE
Typical Cell • ~10% proteins membrane bound • Up to 90% cell’s energy involved in transport • Receptors, transporters, adhesion • Basic and applied
Protein Structure • Rasmol image • 3D structure (tertiary) • Secondary structure • Alpha helix • Beta sheet • PRIMARY STRUCTURE 3D Structure
Primary Structure • 20 amino acids • Unique chemical properties • 100-1000’s (400 typical)
Structure Prediction • Quantum models • Molecular dynamics • Comparative--“Threading” • Simple predictive • Eg. Chou-Fasman
Chou-Fasman, 1978 • 8 proteins (ALL soluble), determine relative tendencies of amino acids • Palpha, Pbeta… • “Rules” for prediction • Does this sample represent proteins well? • Prediction success compared to “newly solved”
Overall Success • ~60% correct • Membrane proteins • ~30% correct!!!! Redo CF for Membrane Proteins
Membrane Protein Sample • ~60 structures of “membrane” proteins • Some were soluble-only parts of larger ones • Redundancy/similarity • ~20 DISTINCT proteins • Vary in membrane localization • DIFFERENT P-factors!!! • Statistically evaluated differences
Algorithm • Adopt, essentially without reconsideration • Code (several versions) • Up to 50% CORRECT readily
Visualization • “Simple” problem • No obvious good solution • Start simple • “beads on a string” • modular • Interactive • collaborative
Visualization • Beads on a string • Insertion
Interpretation Critical?
