Rationale: My partners are working on putting together the phylogenetic tree and looking more in to the  differences between the  members  of each cluster in the supergroup. So, I am going to look more in to  the  different transmembrane  proteins to  try to find a pattern.

Tools: Jmol,  RaptorX

Procedure:

1. After running a member of  each cluster’s transmembrane  protein through raptorX I viewed each protein in Jmol.

2. Noticed a pattern of alpha helix cluster and beta pleated sheet section.

3. Noted my findings  and  tried to find correlation with clusters outside of the group of clusters we are currently looking at.

Results:

Conclusions and Future Work: I will be working more on trying to correlate the  findings with out  groups  to provide a comparison against which to make my claim that there is some kind of relationship among all these clusters.
