Abstract:
In this chapter, we will focus on the role of bioinformatics to analyze a protein after its protein structure has been determined. First, we present how to validate protein structures for quality assurance. Then, we discuss how to analyze protein-protein interfaces and how to predict the biomolecule which is the biological oligomeric state of the protein. Finally, we discuss how to search for homologs based on the 3-D structure which is an essential step for understanding protein function.
