Abstract: An important aspect of bioinformatics is sequence. Sequence is a discrete function which contains the combinations of amino acids in proteins and nucleotides in Dna. Important functions of Amino Acids are to serve as the building blocks of proteins, which are linear chains of amino acids. Amino acids can be linked together in varying sequences to form a vast variety of proteins. Twenty-two amino acids are naturally incorporated into polypeptides and are called protein-o-genic or standard amino acids. Of these, 20 are encoded by the universal genetic code. In the case of the DNA sequence A, T, G, C is used to represent DNA. This sequence information is analysed to determine genes that encode polypeptides (proteins), RNA, genes, regulatory sequences, structural motifs, repetitive sequences and DNA sequences can be accurately analysed using computational techniques like BLAST, FASTA which is not possible manually. In the present study we developed a tool to visualize the 3D structure for a given sequence by using programming language Java and HTML.
