Thank you to whoever can help =)

The following problems involve using the Basic Local Alignment Search Tool or BLAST.

Using NCBI’s BLAST search page answer the following: http://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi

Remember: 1) Choose the non-redundant or “nr” database to access non-human, non-mouse genome data.

2) E value: a negative value or zero is the best value

3) Some proteins have a putative conserved domain which can be accessed by a protein blast.

Using this protein (amino acid) sequence answer the following questions:

2.1 What is generally the starting amino acid of a protein?

2.2 Perform a protein blast or BLASTp search of the protein. What was your top hit? Also record the E-value.

2.3 What are the conserved domains, if any, from BLASTp?

2.4 Perform a TBLASTn search. What is the best match now? And record the E-value.

2.5 What was the difference in the two results (BLASTp to TBLASTn)?
