1. What is bioinformatics? What fields can it be applied to and what are three types of tasks can be done with bioinformatics? When scientists compare protein sequences, they not only search for matches/mis-matches, but they also look at the similarities between the amino acids. What do any similarities in amino acid types tell you about the two proteins? 2. 3. Fill in the following chart by putting a dot in the boxes where the two protein sequences match. Point out which sections of these two sequences align. Where do they match? If there is not a direct amino acid match are the two amino acids at least similar in type (non-polar, acidic, basic, etc)? FDFKAOTLKELPLOKGDVVY 4. What might be an evolutionary reason that protein sequence evolves (changes) faster than protein structure?
