After completing the nucleotide sequence of a microbial genome,computer translation of DNA sequence allows enzymes to be identified based on a short pattern of amino acid sequence called a contig that corresponds to the active site of the enzyme.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Computer translation of DNA sequence allows the identification of proteins based on the translation of mRNA sequence into amino acid sequence, which can then be further analyzed to identify domains and functional motifs. The identification of enzymes based on a short pattern of amino acid sequence is called a motif or a signature sequence, not a contig.
