Homology -- -- --
PREDICTION FROM HOMOLOGY SIMILAR SEQUENCES SIMILAR FOLDS ______ __________________ _______ ACCURACY = t/(t+f) SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT: SMITH-WATERMAN, BLAST,
N0 ======= GOOD PREDICTION ======= TWILIGHT
PREDICTION FROM HOMOLOGY cytochromes c High homology: TWILIGHT ZONE : 10-25% IDENTITY: Low but existing homology. Sequence identity: 15% NO homology. Sequence identity: 15%
Multiple homology key sites (core, 20 structure, active site) PROFILES HIDDEN MARKOV MODELS (HHMer) etc. BIOINFORMATICS
