The Structural Biologist

Capstone challenge for Module 4: The Bioinformatician's Toolkit. Investigate an unfamiliar protein using all five Module 4 tools in sequence.

• Investigate an unfamiliar protein using all five Module 4 tools in sequence
• Extract and interpret the metadata that qualifies a structure
• Locate structural features through 3D navigation
• Classify conserved positions from an alignment as structural or functional
• Predict functional sites by mapping conservation onto the structure
• Compare an experimental structure with a prediction and account for where they differ
