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
