genomics — noun the branch of genetics that studies organisms in terms of their genomes (their full DNA sequences) • Hypernyms: ↑genetics, ↑genetic science • Hyponyms: ↑functional genomics, ↑structural genomics … Useful english dictionary
Structural genomics — consists in the determination of the three dimensional structure of all proteins of a given organism, by experimental methods such as X ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy or computational approaches such as homology modelling.As opposed to… … Wikipedia
Structural alignment — is a form of sequence alignment based on comparison of shape. These alignments attempt to establish equivalences between two or more polymer structures based on their shape and three dimensional conformation. This process is usually applied to… … Wikipedia
Structural proteomics — is an international collaboration project for solving 3D protein structures at a proteome scale. It is similar to structural genomics project.ee also* Proteomics * Structural genomics * OmicsExternal links*… … Wikipedia
Structural biology — is a branch of molecular biology, biochemistry, and biophysics concerned with the molecular structure of biological macromolecules, especially proteins and nucleic acids, how they acquire the structures they have, and how alterations in their… … Wikipedia
Structural parasitology — is the study of the structures of proteins for interesting parasites. It applies the techniques of structural biology (such as X ray crystallography or NMR) to determine the 3 D structures of protein molecules involved in a parasitic relationship … Wikipedia
Structural Genomics Consortium — The Structural Genomics Consortium (SGC) is a not for profit organization that aims to determine the three dimensional structures of proteins of medical relevance, and place them in the Protein Data Bank without restriction. The SGC operates out… … Wikipedia
Genomics — This article is about the scientific field. For the journal, see Genomics (journal). Genomics is a discipline in genetics concerning the study of the genomes of organisms. The field includes intensive efforts to determine the entire DNA sequence… … Wikipedia
Structural Classification of Proteins — The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a largely manual classification of protein structural domains based on similarities of their amino acid sequences and three dimensional structures. Originally published in 1995cite… … Wikipedia
Structural genomics — The study of the proteome, the three dimensional structures of thousands upon thousands of proteins, in fact, all of the proteins produced by a species. In the Human Genome Project, the sequence of all the DNA in our genome was largely deciphered … Medical dictionary
