BioPython

python 2.6 will implement a new data format (named_tuple). Can it be of use for biopython?

Hi,
python 2.6 is going to implement a new kind of data (like lists, strings, etc..) called 'named_tuple'.
It is intended to be a better data format to be used when parsing record files and databases.

You can download the recipe from here (it should be included experimentally in python 2.6):
- http://code.activestate.com/recipes/500261/

Basically, you instantiate a named_tuple object with this syntax:

> Person = NamedTuple("Person name surname")

"Person" is a label for the named_tuple; the following fields, 'name' and 'surname'


WHY DO PROTIENS HAVE UNWANTED RESIDUES IN THEIR SEQUENCE?

Isoenzymes have similar function but different
structures.

             
This means these protiens have similar active sites. We know that some enzymes
even if their polypeptide chain is shortened can perform their function.
So what's the Use of these "unwanted" amino acids?
                             
Please make me Knowledgable in this scientific query.
