Aligning

This page contains an extra explanation of the alignment section. It is mainly based on a few short videos. So, lets immediately start with the introduction.

Introduction video.
The second video explains the concept of protein sequence alignment.

the concept of protein sequence alignment.
When doing proitein sequence alignments, it helps to have knowledge about the structure of the proteins.

Structure knowledge helps sequence alignments.
And when you don't have a structure available, you can try to predict it.

Predicting the structure.
The last two videos show how knowledge about a helix structure and a -hairpin, respectively, helps you make better alignments.

The helix helps you align sequences.

The -hairpin helps you align sequences.
