Question

The question that me and my partner decided to tackle is: What specific sequence changes in the V3 domain of HIV-1 play a role in altering its structure significantly enough to affect its function?

Procedure and Results:

  1. Convert your DNA sequences into protein sequences. First you must retrieve protein sequences form the web. You can use a host of sites such PubMed, but Bioinformatics for Dummies suggests using ExPASy instead because its a good site for protein information as well as being easy to use.
