The protein story...regarding structure

Proteins are Macromolecules composed of 20 different AMINO ACIDS(Essential amino acids) average structure or molecule of protein consisting of around 300 amino acids or 25oo atoms,the amino acids in proteins are covalently bonded and its the amino acid side chains deciding the chemical property of proteins including both structure and functions..usually proteins fold up into specific structures called as the secondary structures(alpha helix and beta sheets)...This video is all about how the proteins are in constant change...

What exactly is "BIOINFORMATICS"?

This is supposed to be the first question that shud pop up into every newbies brain but I think we can easily guess out the "literal" meaning as something that is involving BIO+INFORMATICS and can give you a simple answer by writing (BIO+INFORMATICS= BIOINFORMATICS).

In this blog i would like to depict the true works that goes on behind this simple equation...

What we study in bio informatics:

Biotechnology & its applications.

Micro & Molecular biology

Computing languages(C,C++,JAVA,.NET...).
Scripting languages (PERL, Python, Bio-PERL, Bio-RUBY..)

Database management system(DBMS), Relational(RDBMS)..

Sql, My-Sql.

Mathematical Concepts and applications involving integration, calculus, and graph theory..

In short Bioinformatics is the integrated application of all the above mentioned topics into further studies(Advanced study) involving:

GENOMICS

structural genomics

functional genomics

PROTEOMICS

NANOTECHNOLOGY

RECOMBINANT DNA TECHNOLOGY

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (in biological mol. simulations)

GRID COMPUTING for datamanagement

SYSTEMS BIOLOGY

COMPUTATIONAL BIOLOGY

PHARMACOGENOMICS

PHARMACOGENETICS

BIOPHYSICS

BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS

NCBI (National Center For Biotechnology Information)

The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is part of the United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), a branch of the National Institutes of Health. The NCBI is located in Bethesda, Maryland(38.994994°N 77.099339°W ) and was founded in 1988 through legislation sponsored by Senator Claude Pepper. The NCBI houses genome sequencing data in GenBank and an index of biomedical research articles in PubMed Central and PubMed, as well as other information relevant to biotechnology. All these databases are available online through the Entrez search engine.

The NCBI is directed by David Lipman, one of the original authors of the BLAST sequence alignment program and a widely respected figure in Bioinformatics. He also leads an intramural research program, including groups led by Stephen Altschul (another BLAST co-author), David Landsman, and Eugene Koonin (a prolific author on comparative genomics).
