Characterization of Trypanosoma brucei gambiense variant surface glycoprotein LiTat 1.5 [PDF]
, 2012 At present, all available diagnostic antibody detection tests for Trypanosoma brucei gambiense human African trypanosomiasis are based on predominant variant surface glycoproteins (VSGs), such as VSG LiTat 1.5. During investigations aiming at replacement

The signature motif of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Pif1 DNA helicase is essential in vivo for mitochondrial and nuclear functions and in vitro for ATPase activity [PDF]
, 2018 Pif1 family DNA helicases are conserved from bacteria to humans and have critical and diverse functions in vivo that promote genome integrity. Pif1 family helicases share a 23 amino acid region, called the Pif1 signature motif (SM) that is unique to this

Can Power Laws Help Us Understand Gene and Proteome Information?
Advances in Mathematical Physics, 2013 Proteins are biochemical entities consisting of one or more blocks typically folded in a 3D pattern. Each block (a polypeptide) is a single linear sequence of amino acids that are biochemically bonded together.

STAR: predicting recombination sites from amino acid sequence
BMC Bioinformatics, 2006 Background Designing novel proteins with site-directed recombination has enormous prospects. By locating effective recombination sites for swapping sequence parts, the probability that hybrid sequences have the desired properties is increased ...

Amino acid metabolism conflicts with protein diversity [PDF]
, 2014 The twenty protein coding amino acids are found in proteomes with different relative abundances. The most abundant amino acid, leucine, is nearly an order of magnitude more prevalent than the least abundant amino acid, cysteine.

Three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes
Pteridines, 2013 Current knowledge distinguishes three classes of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes as based on protein sequence similarity. These three protein sequence clusters hydroxylate three types of substrate atoms and use three different forms of iron for ...

Word decoding of protein amino Acid sequences with availability analysis: a linguistic approach.
PLoS ONE, 2012 The amino acid sequences of proteins determine their three-dimensional structures and functions. However, how sequence information is related to structures and functions is still enigmatic.
