Biopython is an open source application programming interface used by computational biologist and bioinformatician. Biopython is supported by Open Bioinformatics Foundation (OBF). It is the collection of Python tools, and it provides an online resource for modules, scripts, and web links for developers of Python based software for life science research. Python is an object […]
Molecular dynamic simulation is a technique to study structure-to-function relationship of macromolecules, mimicking real-life motion of atoms and molecules. MD is now a well accepted and widely used technique to get into the bottom of protein structures and dynamics to study ligand binding, problems related to protein denaturation, enzyme reaction mechanisms and protein re-folding. But […]
Chemoinformatics is an application of computational molecular science to solve chemical problem by manipulating chemical structural information of compounds. It is a distinct discipline which combines Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Biochemistry, mathematics, Statistics and Information technlogy. The goal of chemoinformatics is to gather information by analzing, stimulating and modelling of chemical structure either in 2D or […]
The jiggling wiggling of the atoms is the basis for the existence of the life and understanding this nature of the atomic particles and various laws and phenomenon governing these is a herculean job. As Albert Einstein eloquently said once, “Nature did not deem it her business to make the discovery of her laws easy […]
Name – NAYOMI NEELANGAL Course – Summer Training in Bioinformatics Q1. We would request you to share your qualification? Currently in IBDP2. 12th grade in Indus International School. Q2. Why did you decide to learn Bioinformatics? To enhance my knowledge about the fields in biology (Bioinformatics). Q3. How was your overall training experience @RASA? It […]
The most important processes in a cell are regulated by proteins essentially, by interacting with other proteins or other molecules. Protein dynamic plays an important part in various disciplines like biology, chemistry, synthesis, computational modeling. It includes processes from fast movements that may cause protein collapse due to high friction, but such challenges can be […]
Proteins being the building block of life therefore they can be considered as molecular devices that perform various biological functions. It is this basic structure that allows small molecular interactions to take place in cells. So prediction of structure helps us to determine the function of protein (s) along with its relation with other protein(s). […]
With the advancements in Sanger sequencing continuing, it has become an absolute key to enigmatic method in identification of closed closets in the gene pool. The major drawback even with the advance Sanger sequencers was the cost per base and problems related to cloning and sequencing of regions containing repetitive sequences. But with the advancement […]
Decoding DNA constituted within the human genome has been widely anticipated for the contribution it will make toward understanding human evolution, the causation of disease, and the interplay between the environment and heredity in defining the human condition. Fast progress in DNA sequencing technology has made a substantial leap towards understanding human conditions at genomic […]
