A set of 15 computer ‘experiments’ are suggested, starting from bibliographic searches, and
ending with elementary structure analyses. The experiments use the CSIR-TCS Biosuite-
software package.

Unit I: Bibliographic search on the Internet – PubMed: The students should search PubMed
(www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and obtain information about a particular topic, which may be
suggested by the teacher.

RNA and vice versa. The student translates the DNA sequence in all six reading frames to the
protein sequence and a protein sequence and a protein into the respective DNA sequence,
choosing an appropriate codon usage table
Gene discovery – Given a large DNA sequence (such as e.g. a small portion of an eukaryotic
genome) the student predicts all possible genes.
Protein structure calculations – Given a small protein/peptide structure, the student calculates
and tabulates bond lengths, bond angles, and torsion angles, and identifies hydrogen bonds,
Molecular surface calculations.
Ramachandran plot – Given a protein structure, the students creates and displays its
Ramchandran plot Structural superposition – Given a pair of similar protein structures the
student performs a structural superposition and calculates the similarities/differences
