Correlation-based squence comparison: Devise a PAM-based extension to the basic-correlogram method and extend the Java implementation accordingly. Experiment with a few protein sequences comparing them with the dynamic-programming global alignment method. Anjali Ram ------------------------------- Protein structure prediction: Device a function to convert hydrophobicity-based time series corresponding to a peptide chain to a helix/coil-based step function for the secondary structure. Experiment with secondary structure prediction based on the function of a homologus protein in pdb to the target protein. Robert Asfer ------------------------------- E-coli DNA replication simulation: Complete the simulation program by implementing the appropriate differential equations and integrating the code into the exisiting simulation code and GUI. You may need to collect and read the basic paper on the area. Park
