Two Pfam protein families characterized by a crystal structure of protein lpg2210 from Legionella pneumophila. [PDF]

, 2013
BackgroundEvery genome contains a large number of uncharacterized proteins that may encode entirely novel biological systems. Many of these uncharacterized proteins fall into related sequence families. By applying sequence and structural analysis we hope

Multi‐target fluorescence staining of bacteria smears enables rapid machine learning‐assisted species classification

mLife, EarlyView.
Abstract Rapid identification of bacterial species from patient samples is crucial for clinical decision‐making. In severe infections, such as bloodstream infections, the early start of an effective treatment is directly associated with reduced mortality rates.

Structural Analysis and Inhibitor Modeling of Bacterioferritin From Brucella abortus

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Iron homeostasis in various pathogenic bacteria is regulated by bacterioferritins (Bfr) which function to store Fe3+ and release Fe2+ as needed for metabolic processes. The Bfr structure consists of 18 kDa subunits in which dimer pairs bind a heme molecule and are assembled into a highly symmetrical 24‐meric spherical structure with an ...
