Prediction Tools and Comparative Modelling (Dr. Gail Hutchinson)

Link Description
Prediction tools An introduction to tools available for prediction of structure/function information from sequence.
This is one of the main pages required to perform the mini-projects.
Comparative Modelling An introduction to the basic methods of comparative modelling of three dimensional protein structures from known structures of homologues or other proteins of the same fold.
This is one of the main pages required to perform the mini-projects.
