Discovering the Function of an Unknown Protein Using Bioinformatics Tools

The main goal of this research project is to identify an unknown protein and its biological function. Tools used will include BLAST, Inter-pro, DALI, Foldseek, CLEAN, and BRENDA to compare sequences, find similar motifs, and confirm 3-D structures. By using these multiple biotechnical tools, I hope to gain an understanding of how to recognize protein sequences and use the similarities to determine potential functions.
