Clock genes play a pivotal role in the rhythm maturation of bony fish ovaries. To explore the role of clock genes in the rhythmic ovarian development and maturation of tongue sole (Cynoglossus semilaevis), we used real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR ...

A statistical mechanics perspective for protein folding from $q$-state Potts model [PDF]
The folding of a peptide chain into a three dimensional structure is a thermodynamically driven process such that the chain naturally evolves to form domains of similar amino acids. The formation of this domain occurs by curling the one dimensional amino acid sequence by moving similar amino acids proximity to each other.

On the possible origin and evolution of genetic coding [PDF]
To synthesize peptides alongside the RNAs making the so-called RNA world, some genetic coding involving RNA had to develop. Herein, it is proposed that the first real-coding setup was a direct one, made up of continuous poly-tRNA-like molecules, with each tRNA-like moiety carrying, beyond and near its 5 prime or 3 prime end, a trinucleotide site for ...

Computational reconstruction of mitochondria-encoded mammal ancestral proteins [PDF]
A method based on mapping a symbolic sequence into a set of patterns (strings resulting from the sequence parsing) is proposed as a tool for the reconstruction of ancestral sequences. The set union of patterns comprises all the patterns present in the family of related proteins sequences of an extant species.

Sequencing proteins with transverse ionic transport in nanochannels [PDF]
{\it De novo} protein sequencing is essential for understanding cellular processes that govern the function of living organisms and all post-translational events and other sequence modifications that occur after a protein has been constructed from its corresponding DNA code.

Predicting Residue-wise Contact Orders of Native Protein Structure from Amino Acid Sequence [PDF]
Residue-wise contact order (RWCO) is a new kind of one-dimensional protein structures which represents the extent of long-range contacts. We have recently shown that a set of three types of one-dimensional structures (secondary structure, contact number, and RWCO) contains sufficient information for reconstructing the three-dimensional structure of ...

Understanding of Genetic Code Degeneracy and New Way of Classifying of Protein Family: A Mathematical Approach [PDF]
The genetic code is the set of rules by which information encoded in genetic material (DNA or RNA sequences) is translated into proteins (amino acid sequences) by living cells. The code defines a mapping between tri-nucleotide sequences, called codons, and amino acids.
