Comparative Modeling of XRCC2 Protein which is Responsible for Breast Cancer
Journal Title: International Journal of Novel Trends in Pharmaceutical Sciences - Year 2012, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Cancer that forms in tissues of the breast, usually the ducts (tubes that carry milk to the nipple) and lobules (glands that make milk). It occurs in both men and women, although male breast cancer is rare. Certain changes in DNA can cause normal breast cells to become cancer. Homology modeling relies on the identification of one or more known protein structures likely to resemble the structure of the query sequence, and on the production of an alignment that maps residues in the query sequence to residues in the template sequence. It has been shown that protein structures are more conserved than protein sequences amongst homologues, but sequences falling below a 20% sequence identity can have very different structure. The XRCC2 protein responsible for breast Cancer is modeled using Bioinformatics software’s.
