Overview
Homology modeling, also known as comparative modeling, is a computational technique used to predict the three-dimensional structure of a protein based on its sequence similarity to one or more known protein structures. This method involves identifying a suitable template protein with a known structure, aligning the target protein sequence with the template, constructing a model of the target protein, and validating the accuracy of the model. Homology modeling is widely used in structural biology, drug design, and the functional annotation of proteins, providing valuable insights into protein function and interactions when experimental structures are not available.
Steps in Homology Modeling
Identify a suitable template structure from protein databases.
Align the target sequence with the template structure.
Construct the model using the alignment and template.
Evaluate the accuracy and reliability of the constructed model.
