From Molecular Biology to Molecular Modelling: The Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor

  • Chapter

Abstract

Currently, a molecular biologist is able to sequence DNA at the rate equivalent to 300 amino acids per day. This is leading to an explosion in the number of protein sequences available. Moreover, cross-hybridisation studies mean that once a protein has been sequenced it is relatively easy to find related sequences within the same organism or the same gene in other organisms. This way, for many proteins whole families of sequences are available from a wide spectrum of evolutionarily different organisms.
