GENETICS ON THE WEB
Examples of web sites that provides information on genetic or inherited disorders are as follows :
THE INSTITUTE FOR GENOME RESEARCH
Research at the institute have identified over half of the estimated 60,000-80,000 human genes.
Other genome determined by teams of scientists at the institute includes :

Diagram of the backbone structure of subtilisin
The OWL data suggests that the protein product could have come from five different micro-organisms belonging to the bacillus group:
SUBTILISIN
Secretion of this protease is associated with onset of sporulation; hence many mutations which block sporulation at early stages, affect expression levels of Subtilisin. However subtilisin is not necessary for normal sporulation.
One use of this protease is in laundry detergents, where its broad specificity for proteins that commonly soil clothing, is exploited.
