Conotoxin Gene Superfamilies
Conotoxins are the peptidic components of the venoms of marine cone snails (genus Conus). They are remarkably diverse in terms of structure and function. Unique potency and selectivity profiles for a range of neuronal targets have made several conotoxins valuable as research tools, drug leads and even therapeutics, and has resulted in a concerted and increasing drive to identify and characteris...
متن کاملSuperfamilies of evolved and designed networks.
Complex biological, technological, and sociological networks can be of very different sizes and connectivities, making it difficult to compare their structures. Here we present an approach to systematically study similarity in the local structure of networks, based on the significance profile (SP) of small subgraphs in the network compared to randomized networks. We find several superfamilies o...
متن کاملPhysical origins of protein superfamilies.
In this work, we discovered a fundamental connection between selection for protein stability and emergence of preferred structures of proteins. Using a standard exact three-dimensional lattice model we evolve sequences starting from random ones and determine the exact native structure after each mutation. Acceptance of mutations is biased to select for stable proteins. We found that certain str...
متن کاملMicrobial Eukaryote Diversity and Biogeography
M icrobial ecology has come of age. Microorganisms of all types are essential participants in virtually all biogeochemical processes on earth, a realization that has developed steadily during the last half-century. Moreover, the diversity of bacteria and archaea, revealed by oceanographers and marine bacteriologists through the cloning and sequencing of genes from natural water samples beginnin...
متن کاملFunctional diversity within protein superfamilies
Structural genomics projects are leading to the discovery of relationships between proteins that would not have been anticipated from consideration of sequence alone. However the assignment of function via structure remains difficult as some structures are compatible with a variety of functions. In this study we explore the relationships between structural diversity and functional diversity wit...
