Protein Database

Please follow the directions on how to use the NCBI data base in order to find and a protein and its organism (different than collagen Homosapien) and upload the final document. Use a web browser. Search for a protein sequence in the NCBI Protein Database, using its protein name and organism (example in class done = collagen Homo sapiens). You cannot do collagen and you cannot do Homo sapiens. Once you find the protein sequence, you will then BLAST it to find proteins with similar sequences. What you need to put into a Word file to turn in: 1. Your name. 2. Name of protein. (for example, collagen) 3. Source organism –scientific . (for example, Homo sapiens) 4. Source organism – normal (for example human) 5. Amino acid sequence of protein (Copy/pasted from website). 6. Run BLAST on that protein. Copy/paste one whole alignment (showing sequence of query, subject, and similar residues for length of protein ). For example, in class, we could have shown the alignment of human and dog collagen. 7. Report the E-value for this alignment, and whether it is significant. In other words, are these two proteins homologous? 8. Please provide all results/ documents
