Peptide sequence



Peptide sequence or amino acid sequence is the order in which protein.

Sequence notation and applications

Many peptide sequences have been determined and recorded in sequence databases. These databases may use various notations to describe the peptide sequence. The full names of the amino acids are rarely given; instead, 3-letter or 1-letter abbreviations are usually recorded for conciseness.

Several deductions can be made from the sequence itself. Long stretches of mass spectrometry.

Techniques in sequence analysis can be applied to learn more about the peptide. These techniques generally consist of comparing the sequence to other sequences from sequence databases. Other sequences may have already been studied and determined to be significant. Findings about these sequences may be applicable to the sequence under investigation.

peptide sequences are also called peptide chains :)
