This tutorial is intended to be a advanced lesson in the MultiSeq bioinformatic analysis environment, and we recommend the user first go through the Class-I Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases tutorial prior to attempting this one. In it you will explore the evolutionary relationship of the elongation factor Tu, which ferries 'charged' tRNA from the sythetase to the ribosome. Topics covered include: profile-profile alignments, maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees with RAxML, and scripting with MultiSeq. The tutorial is designed such that it can be used by both new and experienced users of VMD, however, it is highly recommended that new users go through the “VMD Molecular Graphics” tutorial in order to gain a working knowledge of the program. This tutorial should take about two hours to complete in its entirety.
