maybe you could put your sequence into swiss model and see what happens(http://swissmodelexpassy.org), it'll take a few days for them to get a result to you, but you can download 'deep view' and see a three dimensional model which you can manipulate. Another site you could use is PredictProtein.(http://www.predictprotein.org) G'luck, all you have to do with either one is copy and paste, preferably with the sequences already converted into protein sequences (use something like 'generation' to convert it (http://compbio.ornl.gov/generation), again, it's pretty easy. There are even programs that can determine specific elements of interest, depending on what you want to look for; yet the one through predictprotein uses quite a few different interfaces all at once...g'luck.

back to topic: what are the sequences upstream that would perpetrate the gene product?

is that TATAA box? cause the ATG six bases in looks like it can work as a 'start' codon right?

The following segment of DNA codes for a protein (Uppercase letters represent exons, lower case letters represent introns): 5’GCTAAATGGCAaaattgccggatgacGCACATTGACTCGGaatcgaGGTCAGATGC3’ My question is this: What is missing from this sequence that we would need for the gene to make it's product if we were looking at an intact gene?
