Logo Expasy 2020. Expasy is an online bioinformatics resource operated by the SIB Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics.It is an extensible and integrative portal which provides access to over 160 databases and software tools and supports a range of life science and clinical research areas, from genomics, proteomics and structural biology, to evolution and phylogeny, systems biology and medical ...
At the top, the ribosome translates a mRNA sequence into a protein, insulin, and passes the protein through the endoplasmic reticulum, where it is cut, folded, and held in shape by disulfide (-S-S-) bonds. Then the protein passes through the golgi apparatus, where it is packaged into a vesicle. In the vesicle, more parts are cut off, and it ...
An open reading frame (ORF) is a reading frame that has the potential to be transcribed into RNA and translated into protein. It requires a continuous sequence of DNA which may include a start codon, through a subsequent region which has a length that is a multiple of 3 nucleotides, to a stop codon in the same reading frame.
The Kozak sequence was determined by sequencing of 699 vertebrate mRNAs and verified by site-directed mutagenesis. [7] While initially limited to a subset of vertebrates (i.e. human, cow, cat, dog, chicken, guinea pig, hamster, mouse, pig, rabbit, sheep, and Xenopus), subsequent studies confirmed its conservation in higher eukaryotes generally.

The generated protein is a sequence of amino acids. This sequence is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the RNA. The nucleotides are considered three at a time. Each such triple results in addition of one specific amino acid to the protein being generated. The matching from nucleotide triple to amino acid is called the genetic code.
Phenylalanine ammonia lyase is specific for L-phenylalanine, and to a lesser extent, L-tyrosine. [9] [10] The reaction catalyzed by PAL is a spontaneous elimination reaction rather than an oxidative deamination.
Swiss-model (stylized as SWISS-MODEL) is a structural bioinformatics web-server dedicated to homology modeling of 3D protein structures. [1] [2] As of 2024, homology modeling is the most accurate method to generate reliable three-dimensional protein structure models and is routinely used in many practical applications. Homology (or comparative ...
EPD was created in 1986 as an electronic version of a eukaryotic promoter compilation published in an article [6] and has been regularly updated since then. The database was initially distributed on magnetic tapes as part of the EMBL data library [7] and later via the Internet.
