Question

Margaret Dayhoff developed the first protein sequence database named:

• A. \( \text{SWISS PORT} \)
• B. \( \text{Protein sequence databank} \)
• C. \( \text{Protein data bank PDB} \)
• D. \( \text{Atlas of protein sequence and structure} \)

Hint:

Margaret Dayhoff's contributions to bioinformatics revolutionized protein analysis and sequence comparison.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Margaret Dayhoff developed the "Atlas of Protein Sequence and Structure," which was the first protein sequence database. Her pioneering work in bioinformatics enabled researchers to catalog and compare protein sequences systematically. This database laid the foundation for modern protein sequence databases used in computational biology.
