Key Topics to Revise

1

Protein Informatics

  • Protein informatics means collecting information about a protein using techniques of information technology.
  • It helps determine the geometrical location of the functional site, biochemical function, and biological function of hypothetical proteins.
  • It also helps in predicting tertiary structure and understanding proteins whose functions are not known by conventional methods.
2

Primary Structure Prediction

  • Primary structure prediction includes physico-chemical characterisation of proteins.
  • Important parameters are isoelectric point, extinction co-efficient, instability index, aliphatic index, and GRAVY.
  • ProtParam is the tool used for calculating these parameters.
3

Secondary and 3D Structure Prediction

  • Secondary structure prediction is a step towards 3D structure prediction.
  • Common secondary structure tools are APSSP, CFSSP, SOPMA, and GOR.
  • 3D structure prediction methods include homology modelling, fold prediction, and de novo prediction.
4

Cheminformatics and Chemical Databases

  • Cheminformatics means using computational and informational techniques to understand chemistry problems.
  • It is useful in drug discovery for evaluating compounds against target cellular molecules.
  • Cheminformatics handles physical properties, 3D molecular and crystal structures, and chemical reaction pathways.
