Publisher's Synopsis
This work presents an overview of the field of computing with protein and nucleic acid sequences. It attempts to provide information on what data is available, what calculations can be performed, how to gain access to the data and to necessary programs and how the results of calculations can be interpreted.;The book is aimed at investigators determining sequences, to those who analyze them to identify unknown proteins and interpret their function and to those interested in the three-dimensional structures of biological molecules.;The work was written in response to an initiative from a CODATA Task Group and aims to bring together information of importance to a wide range of scientists who would otherwise have difficulty finding sources.
