The evolution of enzyme function in the isomerases
نویسندگان
چکیده
The advent of computational approaches to measure functional similarity between enzymes adds a new dimension to existing evolutionary studies based on sequence and structure. This paper reviews research efforts aiming to understand the evolution of enzyme function in superfamilies, presenting a novel strategy to provide an overview of the evolution of enzymes belonging to an individual EC class, using the isomerases as an exemplar.

Numerical Solution of The First-Order Evolution Equations by Radial Basis Function
In this work, we consider the nonlinear first-order evolution equations: $u_t=f(x,t,u,u_x,u_{xx})$ for $0 to initial condition $u(x,0)=g(x)$, where $u$ is a function of $x$ and $t$ and $f$ is a known analytic function. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the method of RBF to existing method in solving nonlinear first-ord...
متن کاملExploring the chemistry and evolution of the isomerases.
Isomerization reactions are fundamental in biology, and isomers usually differ in their biological role and pharmacological effects. In this study, we have cataloged the isomerization reactions known to occur in biology using a combination of manual and computational approaches. This method provides a robust basis for comparison and clustering of the reactions into classes. Comparing our result...
