By performing a comprehensive study on 1832 segments of 1212 complete genomes of viruses, we show that in viral genomes the hairpin structures of thermodynamically predicted RNA secondary structures are more abundant than expected under a simple random null hypothesis. The detected hairpin structures of RNA secondary structures are present both in coding and in noncoding regions for the four gr...

conclusions the expression of recombinant calprotectin, as an effective protein, can help in diagnosis or treatment of inflammatory and cancer processes in the future. furthermore, ca2+ induced a partial change in secondary and tertiary structure of calprotectin subunits and this change is probably necessary for protein dimerization. results interaction of s100a8 and s100a9 in the presence of c...

In this paper we present a method for discovering approximately common motifs (also known as active motifs) in multiple RNA secondary structures. The secondary structures can be represented as ordered trees (i.e., the order among siblings matters). Motifs in these trees are connected subgraphs that can differ in both substitutions and deletions/insertions. The proposed method consists of two st...
