protein data bank

Tyrpsin
Tyrpsin is a serine protease found in digestive system of many vertebrates. Tyrpsin is produced in the pancreas as the inactive proenzyme trypsinogen. trypsin cleaves peptide chains mainly at the carboxyl side of the amino acid lysine or arginine,except when either is followed by proline. It is used for numerous biotechnological processes.

 Subtilisin

Subtilisin a.k.a serine endopeptidase is protease (a protein-digesting enzyme) initially obtained from Bacillus subtilis. They are physically and chemically well characterized enzymes.

me..computer and science..





I was late to class today,class start at 2pm,i woke up at 2.05pm..I reached the com lab at 2.30pm..luckly it was Madam Linda first class..she will teach us about HTML and other related stuff which is I'm not familiar with..nothing much to learn today, just an introduction about html.  So the first task that Madam ask us to do is creating a blog and write about "Journey of Life" in our post. Thanks God, I already have my own blog which has been used in my CADD class..so,I just using the same blog for KOS1110..and fortunately I had created my post for "Journey of Life"..my task for today's class is already done..and this is my first post for my KOS1110..actually this subject must be taken when i was in my 1st year..but i took it in my final year with the other juniors..it's fun actually cause i get to know other junior,sharing experience about how's life in Kuantan..my classmates are very nice and they're really helpful especially during Dr.Salihin class..they helped me a lot!!thanks friends!!this some of my friends name:-


No Friend's Name Course
1 Atikah Bsms
2 Amina Bsms
3 Daila Bsms

What I expect from this class is to get as much knowledge about computers related with science.how we are going to apply all the skills and knowledge in our study and when we're working soon.  I really hope that Madam Linda will teach us everything about computer in science till the end of this semester..Insyaallah

3D protein structure lesson

Basic steps for designing 3D protein structure. 

For your information, CADD (Computer Aided Drug Design) is the minor of Bioinformatics. It encompasses the application of computational approaches, in understanding the molecular mechanism of drug activity and in designing new drugs. Before we going into deep about CADD, we first must understand the basic technique of designing the 3D protein structure of organism using certain related software.
1. Go to Google or Yahoo, search for MEROPS. When the windows pop ups, click on MEROPS and it will directly connect you to the MEROPS website.  

2. In the website, click the Organism icon located at the left side of the window.



3. Search for microorganism Burkholderia pseudomallei without strain.

 
4. Since there are so many peptidase organisms, choose only one particular organism with specific peptidase. For this example, we will use Lon-A peptidase organism and ClpP peptidase organism.

5. For Lon-A peptidase organism, find for SJ S16 and click their Merops ID. The window for peptidase unit will appear. Then, copy all the sequence in the notepad. Do for another three merops(MER).
*You can also copy all the sequences in the Microsoft Excel so that you can view them more clearly.

6. For ClpP peptidase, find for SK S14 and click the Merops ID. Do the same procedure with Lon.

7. While in notepad, what you should do is remove all the numbers and spaces between the sequences except the MEROPS ID.

8. Make sure your sequence is correct and no sequence is missing. This is important because when your sequence is incomplete, it will affect your protein structure in the next step.

9. Then, save the Notepad as ClpplonBP.
 
10. Next, search for NCBI website in Google or Yahoo. Click Blast on your right side. Go to protein blast.

11. This below window will appear after clicking the protein blast icon. At the Enter Query Sequence, fill in the empty box with the MER sequence from the notepad that you have already saved.

12. When you press enter, the MER ID will appear in the Job Title box.


13. Choose for Protein Databank protein (pdb).

14. Choose PSI-BLAST for Algorithm and click BLAST.


15. The window appears show the sequence of organism. Click the 4th band with red color and it will show the pdb ID of the band which is 1RR9.



16. Do for ClpP sequence and the pdb ID will appear as 1TYF.

17. Open for RCSB Protein Databank website. Type the pdb ID (eg: 1RR9) and click ‘search’. Click for the ID and download for PDB File (gz).

18. To view the 3D structure, we need the RasWin package. Click File and Open for the file of downloaded PDB File (gz). You can change the appearance of the structure. Apply for other organisms.

me..myself and i..

Nothing much to know bout me..i just a simple girl lives in a simple life..born in December,17th 1985.i was the third child of four, having 2 sisters and one little brother..i was born and brought up in my Kedah until my aged turns 18.  my 1st school that i attended was my kindergarten, followed by my primary school then my high school..i could say that my life is quite complicated even though i consider it as "simple"..my parents also claimed that I'm the trouble-maker daughter  compared to the other siblings.  after my  SPM, i was offered to further my study in matriculation but i refused to go since i thought that its gonna be tough for me.i waited for another offer and luckily i was offered to join UiTM to further my study.  the first week of orientation was very hethic..i really hate it..i cried everyday since i was never been apart from my parents..i couldnt handle myself and called my parents telling them that i don't want 2 continue my study there. after a lot of problems..my parents decided to place me at one private college in Shah Alam doing Dip. in Medical Laboratory Technology.  i studied there 4 almost 2 1/2years  and i graduated with flying colors. for 2 and a half years, i learnt many things about life..i knew a lots of friends with different background..i built a good friendship and i miss every moment there.after graduated from my dip..i tried to apply to further my study in local uni..and alhamdulillah, i got the offer from IIUM to continue my bachelor degree in Biomedical Science..i was very happy so do my parents..i knew that was their dream and im so glad that i already fulfilled their wish..now..im here..in my last final semester before i graduated..i'm satisfy with my life for what i have now..happy family..loving parents and nice friends. the journey of my life still continue till end of my life..
