Journey of Life #2
My little understanding about CADD..^_^
After exploring MEROPS, we were taught on how to search the details of the previous chosen organisms by using PSIBLAST from this webpage. After clicking on the "blast" on the right webpage, find for "protein blast".
After clicking at "protein blast", the following will appear and the protein sequence will be entered in the query sequence box at the top on the left of the page.
At the bottom of the page, the Program Selection Algorithm should be changed to PSI-BLAST before go to BLAST button. The detail and further description of the protein sequence would then appeared.
To see the identity and description of the protein, click on the first line to get below feature.
b) Artemis
Artemis is a free genome viewer and annotation tool that allows visualization of sequence features and the results of analyses within the context of the sequence. in other word, it allows the users to choose a specific sequence, for instance Lon and ClpP sequence from Burkholderia pseudomallei to look for its location in the genome. Moreover, we also learned the steps to trim, delete, rename and move the entry of the selected sequences.
The information from PDB could be found out by knowing the PDB ID. Therefore, by using the same organism, which is Burkholderia pseudomallei, the description or the PDB ID could be identified from the NCBI and BLAST application, as mentioned earlier. Once the PDB ID was found; Lon PDB ID was 1TYF while ClpP PDB ID was 1RR9, the FASTA sequences and PDB file were downloaded.
Final Year Project
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...
My final year project title is "Antimicrobial Properties of Piper sarmentosum". This plant is known as pokok kaduk among Malay and it is commonly eaten as ulam besides being consumed traditionally to relieve fever, cough as well as toothache.
Basically, this mini research is about the testing of antimicrobial activity of methanol extraction of the leave and stem part of kaduk against several bacteria and fungi. Besides that, I will compare the antimicrobial activity between leave and stem part.
Since I am just start the extraction process, nothing much I can update so far. Just hoping that all will run smoothly. Pray for my success ya..
wassalam...
Journey of my life..
Bismillahirrahmanirrahim...
In the name of Allah, The Most Gracious, the Most Merciful..
This blog is my second blog actually. As in the CADD(Computer Aided Drug Design) subject, my beloved lecturer asked us to have our own blog, I've decided to create this blog since my another blog contains too many 'personal stories', i guess..=p
Well, this first entry is all about the journey of my life..Thank you so much Madam for giving this task since i can improve my writting skill..Because I'm not so good in English, I would like to take this opportunity as a challenge..(^_^)
I was born on 18th April 1987 and I'm the second daughter of my dearest parent, Md Puzi Hashim and Fatimah Ahmad. Alhamdulillah is the only word to describe how lucky I am to be a daughter of my beloved parent..thank you ya Allah for giving me a very happy family..:=)
I was born and raised in Kedah, which means that I am 'anak jati' Kedah. My early education began in SK Kuala Sungai Muda before continue to the secondary school at SMK Kota Kuala Muda, both are in Kedah and pretty near from my house. When I was in form 4, I was chosen to enter Kolej Islam Sultan Alam Shah(KISAS), a school I had dream for since I was in form 2. I felt very grateful for the precious moments that I had went through since for two years being there, I had built up a-new-me in spiritual and mental way.
My journey as a student was continued to the matriculation centre of IIUM where I had learnt and struggled there for about one and half year. At the end of 2006,I had completed the matriculation study and being transferred to IIUM kuantan to further my study in Bachelor of Biomedical Science. For the time being, I am a fouth year student who is struggling for my final year project. I hope that I can successfully completed all the subjects in this course by the end of 2010, inshaAllah..
Last but not least, I am very grateful to Allah because He makes the journey of my life went smoothly so far. Having difficulties throughout the student life is normal since i believe that all the hardness is a MUST to success in future.
wallahu a'lam....
