David Liu, a student in department of Life Sciences, got bit by a snake
in the backyard of life science building. He was so angry! Thus, he killed
the snake and purified several toxins from its venoms. He sequenced one
of the toxin, got this sequence:
1 L K C N K L V P L F Y K T C P A G K N L C Y K M F M V A T P
31 K V P V K R G C I D V C P K S S L L V K Y V C C N T D R C N
(1) Is this a new toxin? Please help him to identify this toxin.
This is not a new protein. This is a
CARDIOTOXIN
PRECURSOR
-
(2) Can you find proteins that share sequence homology with this toxin?
Show them in
multiple
alignment form.
-
(3) Please predict its
secondary
structure.
-
(4) Please show its charge distribution.(more
