Help David to analyze the the gene product in ExPasy.

1. Using DNA -> Protein translator to translate gene.

From the ExPasy analysis I found the frame 2 is the translated protein sequence most likely to be correct.

The frame 2 sequence is as follows:

K K I K K M N K P Q T I Y E K L G G E N A M K A A V P L F Y K K V L A D E R V K H F F K N T D M D H Q T K Q Stop T D F L T M L L G G P N H Y K G K N M T E A H K G M N L Q N L H F D A I I E N L A A T L K E L G V T D A V I N E A A K V I E H T R K D M L G K Stop D S C C C C L Y S T I I N Y Y L T H H Q I N S N S T Q L N L S D F N K N Y L L Stop _ E Y L L C I V M Y R L L K M M I K T N P M V P D P R I

But the real sequence should be from the sixth amino acid (M) to the 127th amino acid (K),as follows:

MNKPQTIYEKLGGENAMKAAVPLFYKKVLADERVKHFFKNTDMDHQTKQQTDFLTMLLGGPN HYKGKNMTEAHKGMNLQNLHFDAIIENLAATLKELGVTDAVINEAAKVIEHTRKDMLGK

Where the first "stop" in the sequence is not a stop codon but translated as Q .

 

2. Calaulate pI, molecular weight, amino acid composition of the protein.

PI=8.78

MW=13683.82

3. Predict a-helice of the protein.

detailed information

 

 

 

4. Compute the hydrophobic profile of the protein (show the window and weight you used).

The Kyte & Doolitttle hydrophobic analysis----

The window size I used was 9.

And the Relative weight of the window edges compared to the window center is 80%.

And the weight variation model I used was exponential.

This profile scale was normalized from 0 to 1
