Drug Discovery 2: Using Protein BLAST For Drug Discovery

This video, provided by Digital World Biology, is from a series of tutorial videos for iCn3D, a web-based three-dimensional visualization and structural analysis platform for molecular structures. In this video, presenter Sandra Porter discusses using the protein Basic Local Alignment Search Tool (BLAST), an online program enabling the comparison between two protein sequences, to aid in drug discovery. Included is instruction on how to use protein BLAST to search protein sequences in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) structure database and to interpret the protein BLAST results.

This video runs 22:02 minutes in length. Additional videos in the series are available to view separately.
