User:Stewartadcock/Homology modelling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Homology modelling is an approach to protein structure prediction. It is based on the reasonable assumption that two homologous proteins will share very similar structures. Given the amino acid sequence of a unknown structure and the solved structure of a homologous protein, each amino acid in the solved structure is mutated, computationally, into the corresponding amino acid from the unknown structure.
