MACROMOLECULES: Relation of content of one nucleotide to the rest

MACROMOLECULES:

Relation of content of one nucleotide to the rest

Expert Solution

A macromolecule is a very large molecule, such as protein, formed by the polymerization of smaller subunits called monomers. The most common macromolecules are biopolymers (nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates and polyphenols) and large non-polymeric molecules (such as lipids and macrocycles).

In nucleic acid, the macromolecules are made out of units called nucleotides, which are in two forms:

1) Deoxyribonucleic acid

2) Ribonucleic acid

DNA, RNA, and proteins all consist of a repeating structure of related building blocks (nucleotides in the case of DNA and RNA). In general, they are all unbranched polymers, and so can be represented in the form of a string. they can be viewed as a string of beads, with each bead representing a single nucleotide or amino acid monomer linked together through covalent chemical bonds into a very long chain. In most cases, the monomers within the chain have a strong propensity to interact with other amino acids or nucleotides.

A) Develop a function GC(seq) using MATLAB that takes in as input parameter a nucleotide sequence seq returns the computed (G+C) content for the inputted seq.B) Develop a function GCSlidingWindow (seq, winsize, overlap) that takes three input parameters, a biological seq, a sliding window size winsize and the extent of overlap between successive sliding windows { overlap. It calls the function GC and plots the G+C property measured along the span of the argument seq.
