FYI -You can use the protein databases, references (both images and information),  to obtain any missing data on your protein and genetic disease:

• Informatics data (name, symbol, accession numbers, etc.).
• Biological data (locus, MW, function, ligands, substrates, site of expression, etc.).
• Genetic data (known mutant alleles or protein variants and clinical symptoms; explanation* of molecular, cellular and physiological sequelae of diseases and syndromes)
• Molecular Structure/Function data (primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary structure and   function; images and explanations* from references).

Part 1 of your presentation activity (done in class on day 4)

Find the amino acid sequence for the protein involved with the phenotype, condition or disease you have chosen. Then locate the PDB file containing the structural coordinates.

Save this file to the desktop and open in Swiss-PDBviewer (make sure to send a copy to yourself and know how to download Swiss-PDBviewer on another computer).

Part 2 of your presentation activity

Use Swiss-PDBviewer to identify the defective site of your protein of interest and if possible the mutant protein. (Using separate coordinates or making changes within the wildtype protein structure). Save these images for your presentaion.

There is no minimum or maximum amount of information to find - in the real world, the only criterion of quality is to do as much as necessary to do the job right.

Examine and compile all relevant information. 

Print  all information which you think may be useful for your Poster, and save it for later use.

Hand in a copy to your instructor!
