Treasures of CADD

Monday, January 11, 2010

On previous lecture of CADD, madam had asked us to post in blog about CADD, assuming that the visitors have zero knowledge about CADD. In other words, we have to review what we have learnt for about 3 weeks lecture..huhu. It’s quite hard for me bcoz I’m also still adapting myself with this new knowledge, CADD. Hopefully, I can recall some…By the way, CADD (Computer Aided Drug Design (CADD) is a specialized discipline that uses computational methods to simulate drug-receptor interactions. Now, lets review what had been learnt

1ST WEEK

1. we learnt how to get the protein sequence from different organism. This can be performed from website of MEROPS, search based on domain. Detection of domain is important towards the it’s function.The examples of domain are Clpp and Lon. Once the organism being chosen, the protein sequence will be appeared. From the protein sequence, we can get the peptidase unit and the active site.


example of Lon peptidase sequence for MER060788


2.Then, move to website of National Centre of BioInformatics (NCBI)

NCBI::::> Sequence analysis::::>Protein Blast::::>BlastP

-fill the blank with protein sequence of organism
- click non redundant on database
- then click psi.blast before clicking BLAST



From the blast, we can get the domain, description and identity. Description and identity can be found on the allignment. Identity means that how much the similarity. In short, we do BLAST to search the similarity.

2ND WEEK

On 2nd week, Clustalx and Artemis had been used. Clustalx is meant for clustering all those protein sequences while Artemis is a sequence viewer and annotation tool.

1.Clustalx software
a.Wordwrap sequence in notepad
b. Clustalx:::>file:::>load sequence:::>choose sequence from file

complete alignment in order to aligned all the respective sequence.





≈ output : dnd (dendogram)…………..need TREEVIEW to view
aln (align all the sequence)………..can b viewed by micr.word also

~ Treeview is used to view the hierarcy of organism





2. Alignment:::>complete alignment:::> align
3. Website MEROPS:>organism:::>eg. Bulkholderia pseudomallei

-choose SJ –S16 (*SJ – clan, S16- family)…for Lon
-copy sequence in notepad
-repeat procedure for SK-S14…….for Clpp

4. Artemis v5:::>file::>open:::>BPs.dbs:::>choose certain sequence from notepad clpplonbp

~ Go to:::>navigator:::>paste that certain sequence in blank at find aa string
~ create:::>mark ORF in range
~ output appeared 3 sequence …..delete sequences without similarity

1 feature left: edit:::>trim selected feature to met

5.To find another sequence which may have similarity within the previous sequence

a) repeat all in step 4
b)CDS:::>edit::>edit selected feature:::>copy name from notepad eg. MER165606
c)paste and replace “none”…apply…ok






6. Website NCBI

a)BLAST:::>protein blast:::>copy paste sequence:::>choose database : pdb
b)Alignment 1st line: 1TYFA (* 1TYFA – ID of pdB):::>Open 1TYF

7. open website Protein Data Bank::::>search IRR9:::>download file:::>save FASTA, save pdb


3RD WEEK

PDB is for homology modeling where the amino acid sequence of a specific protein (target) is known, and the 3-D structures of proteins related to the target (templates) are known.

Eg . Clpp …..1TYF.pdb
Lon…….1RR9.pdb





Open file with RasWin…..~output: 3D structure
3D structure info: eg. Green color: helix, Yellow color: B-shape (straight)


only until here I can recall...plz correct me if there is mistake..

Unit trust

Saturday, January 2, 2010

Tahukah anda?


Anda boleh memaksimumkan wang KWSP anda melalui pelaburan dalam unit trust? Pulangan KWSP tahun lepas hanya 5%. Tapi pulangan unit trust tahun lepas ada yang mencecah 33%. Oleh itu jangan lepaskan peluang ini. Bahkan anda juga boleh membuat pelaburan dalam unit trust dengan nilai pelaburan permulaan yang rendah

# Jika anda melabur = RM2,000 >>> Untung = 20% setahun, dalam masa 20 tahun, duit pelaburan RM2,000 anda akan menjadi = RM2,000 x (1 + 20%)20 = RM76,675.20 SUNGGUH LUMAYAN!!

# Jumlah kos pengajian degree di IPTA = RM 25,000 manakala kadar inflasi semasa = 3.5%. Katakan anda mempunyai anak berumur 2 tahun, dlm masa 15 tahun lagi dia akan melanjutkan pelajaran ke IPTA..! Jumlah kos pengajian degree di IPTA tahun 2022 = RM25,000.00 x (1 + 0.035)^15 = RM41,883.70 Oleh itu, ELAKKAN masalah kewangan ini berlaku kepada diri anda kelak!...

Jika anda benar-benar ingin menikmati pulangan lumayan dari sistem penjanaan wang, inilah pelaburan yang sah disisi undang-undang malaysia. Mulakan pelaburan bijak anda dengan pelaburan unit trust.


Memandangkan kita da semakin dewasa, kita da kena pk suma ni tuk future..


Kawan2,jika nnt2 anda da keje or skrg pon kalo berminat tuk invest dalam UNIT TRUST PUBLIC MUTUAL ISLAMIC, sila2 lah contact sy ya...sy x pandai nk promote secara bertulis...sy suka face to face tuk explain psl unit trust ni...


Dulu sy hny tahu sedikit2 shj psl unit trust. tp bila sy da invest sendiri, sy mula belajar banyak benda tentang kewangan..secara x langsung juga kita menjadi lebih bijak dalam manage financial kita...
