What kinds of information do we expect to find in a structural model of a protein? Do sequence data provide similar information? A comparison of a CGTase and an alpha-amylase using both of these approaches provides evidence of functional similarities between the two enzymes. Search extensive online databases and explore additional proteins with bioinformatics tools.
