Genomic fold assignment and rational modeling of proteins of biological interest

Abstract:
The first available genome of a multicellular organism, C. elegans, was used as a test case for protein fold assignment using PSI-BLAST, followed by rational structure modeling and interpretation of experimental mutagenesis data in the context of collaboration with biologists. Similar results are demonstrated for human disease proteins with known polymorphisms.
