What Is Protein Data Bank (PDB) and Rasmol?

Today,we learn another new program called the Protein Data Bank (PDB). PDB is a program developed to provide the users vast varieties of information specifically in the studies of structural biology. Biologists and biochemist all around the world after thorough research using X-ray crystallography or NMR spectroscopy submit the obtained structure of biological molecules to the site so that other researchers around the globe can get access to it. PDB is extremely important in the development of the studies of structural biology such as structural genomics. To provide easier interface for the users to study about the structures,a program called the Rasmol is also developed. This program provides the users the function to display the structure in the computer and to edit it according to what they want. With the development of this program,the learning of the structure becomes more handy as we can edit even the colour and shape of the structure according to what we believe suit best for our own understanding. Here,we provide you with some simple structures that we have extracted and edited using the Rasmol.

Types of Protein	Numbers of Structure
Trypsin	989
Htr A	24
Lex A	2
Clp P	85
Clp B	83

Introduction to Chemsketch

Today we learned about a software called the Chemsketch. Chemsketch is a program developed by Advanced Chemistry Development,Inc (ACD) mainly and specifically to draw chemical structures and models. Chemsketch is very handy in terms of usage and practically easy when it comes to drawing even the most complex chemical structure. In today's class,we drew a few chemical structures which are highly associated to our Biotechnology course. Since we are new learners,it takes time to be a "master" of this software,but however,after frequent try and error,our understanding of the usage of Chemsketch became better and we managed to splash the knowledge into some drawings. Here we provide you with some of our masterpieces.

Here is the some numbers of carbon :

Name	Numbers of Carbon
Methane	1
Ethane	2
Propane	3
Butane	4
Pentane	5

oUr FiRsT DaY in IIUM Kuantan..

Assalamu'alaikum.After almost 3 months of spending the holidays at home, this is the happiest moment of my day and my family. I've got the offer letter for further study in UIA. No words can reflect this excitement. Thanks to Alllah, I was offered a biotechnology degree courses. I and family have departed from Kedah to Kuantan 2 days before the day of registration. It is a very long journey and it takes about 10 hours. We had to stop at relative house to rest. On 4 September 2012 I have finished my registeration in IIUM Kuantan. After completing the registration, I live in Mahalah Tabari. My hostel is located outside the campus. It is very far from campus. Luckily the IIUM provide bus transportation to the campus. In the afternoon, I need to go to the main hall because there Taaruf program. The program runs for three days from morning till late at night. Tentative program is very compact cause we feel very tired. I happy get to know the seniors and all Dean at IIUM. On the last day Taaruf program, I was determined to study hard to achieve my dreams and mardhotillah.Below are the subject that we take for this semester.Hopefully,I could pass it with flying colour.insyaALLAH.(^_^)
