To reveal nucleotide sequence - we need to do second generation sequencing (such as Illumina, Nanopore sequencing) or using bioinformatical databases from ncbi or rcsb.pdb

To reveal protein sequence - we need to make protein sequencing

Reveal carbohydrate binding site - using amino acid grouping methods that enable effective learning of sequence patterns and evaluated the performance of these methods- the best of our knowledge, however, the only reported methods for predicting carbohydrate-binding proteins are conventional homology-based methods. So we detect carbohydrate binding site by different computational methods. Protein chains is determined experimentally by X-ray crystallography or by swiss-modelling. Amino acid frequency is counted by software.
