a number of databases housed by_________________
4. Multiple sequence alignment of DNA or protein sequences allows us to
determine evolutionary relationship.

6. The above stretch of letters shows the sequence of __________________ using a
one letter code for each ______________________.
7. Use the 3 letter code to rewrite the QGMGFTAIWI amino acid sequence. 8. Match the following: Set A:
1. NCBI accession number
2. PDB ID
3. amino acids in the active site of
human salivary amylase,
4. alpha helices and beta pleated sheets
are examples of
5. total 3D conformation(shape) of an
entire polypeptide chain including alpha
helices beta sheets and other loops,
turns and bends
6. the sequence of amino acids in a

Omega ____
____
____
____ 9. Why do organisms found at low temperatures have membrane proteins with a
higher percentage of alpha helices compare to beta sheets?
10. Does enzyme activity depend only on the 3D shape of the active site? (are
amino acids outside of the active site important for optimal function of the
enzyme?) Explain
11. Homologous sequences:
