Introduction

Online Resources (bioinformatic software)

We used a variety of in silico databases with our protein, 3HDT to find similarities with other amino acid sequences, protein family matches, and structural comparisons to known proteins in the PDB. Below are the recorded results and information from each database. From this information, a hypothesized function was created for 3HDT and potential substrates were selected such as dCMP.

SDS-PAGE

SDS-PAGE results for the purified protein 3HDT. The total weight of this protein is around 25.79 kD. The first lane (left) contains a size standard. The band in the second lane (right) at ~70kD is not the protein of interest (3HDT) but contains a binding metal protein. There is also a faint band around ~26kD, indicating our protein of interest was present.

Conclusion/Future Experiments

This is a sample scene created with SAT to by Group, and another to make of the protein. You can make your own scenes on SAT starting from scratch or loading and editing one of these sample scenes.
