Protein Identification
Protein can be categorised into its structure, function and evolution. Knowing the structure of the protein allows researchers to predict its function and also helps in fighting dieases that proteins are involved. The functions of the protein is important as proteins direct almost all biological functions and by knowing which proteins is responsible for the particular biological functions, drugs can be design to enhance or inhibit the effect it produces. Function will contrains the evolution of the sequence of the express proteins as functional residues are more conserved but function may differ in different organism.
There are many methods used to predict structure and function of the protein but evolution methods rely on many related sequences, this is also another reason why protein need to be identify. Unknown proteins can be used to compared with known proteins for its structure and functions, therefore less time and resource will be used in identifying proteins. Functions of the protein can be reveal from:
1. Sequence by comparing with known proteins
2. Structure (Assuming similar structure gives similar functions but not always true)
3. Genomics Context
4. Cellular Context (cellular and sub-cellular as localisation liimits the possible function)
5. Evolutionary Context
