HHSearch

For HHSearch we used [[2]] with the pdb70 database of May 14th.

Multiple sequence alignments

Sequences used for multiple sequence alignments

For the multiple sequence alignments we used our reference sequence and twenty sequences we had found with sequence searches. We tried to avoid hypothetical sequences and tried to take sequences, that have similiar identities in all sequence searches. The following tables show the chosen sequences with their identities in the different searches. We only found one pdb structure (which was also in the HSSP database).

our reference sequence: P04062, GLCM_HUMAN Glucosylceramidase
