Question

Cysteine doesn’t make predictions by building profiles.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me during an interview.

The above asked question is from Post translational Modification in section Functional Genomics & Proteomics of Bioinformatics

Answer 1

The correct answer is (b) False

Easiest explanation: Is a web server that predicts the disulfide bonding states of cysteine residues in a protein sequence by building profiles based on multiple sequence alignment information. A recursive neural network ranks the candidate residues for disulfide formation.
