Alyuruk, Hakan; Cavas, Levent – Journal of Biological Education, 2014
Genomics and proteomics projects have produced a huge amount of raw biological data including DNA and protein sequences. Although these data have been stored in data banks, their evaluation is strictly dependent on bioinformatics tools. These tools have been developed by multidisciplinary experts for fast and robust analysis of biological data.…

Centeno, Nuria B.; Villa-Freixa, Jordi; Oliva, Baldomero – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2003
Understanding the basic principles of structural biology is becoming a major subject of study in most undergraduate level programs in biology. In the genomic and proteomic age, it is becoming indispensable for biology students to master concepts related to the sequence and structure of proteins in order to develop skills that may be useful in a…
