[Computational-biology] DNA-binding protein recognition sequence database?

[Thilognee Subramani]

Hi
 
I am just wondering whether you can give me some direction to my
project on how to go abt doing the computational part of my project.
I have a protein that we suspect may be involved in DNA binding and
thereby play a role in transcription. Its TIMP-1
:MAPFEPLASGILLLLWLIAPSRACTCVPPHPQTAFCNSDLVIRAKFVGTPEVNQTTLYQRYEIKMTKMYKGFQALGDAADIRFVYTPAMESVCGYFHRSHNRSEEFLIAGKLQDGLLHITTCSFVAPWNSLSLAQRRGFTKTYTVGCEECTVFPCLSIPCKLQSGTHCLWTDQLLQGSEKGFQSRHLACLPREPGLCTWQSLRSQIA
 It is an ob-fold protein.  How should i go abt trying to analyse this
protein computationally.  All these computer programs just confuse me. 
Any help would be highly appreciated.
 
Thank you so much for your timme.
