  • In addition, knowledge of protein structure may prompt potential partners for protein interaction and thus encourage researchers to develop or improve new enzymes or antibodies, or, for example, to explain the phenotype of the mutations performed or to help determine the location of the mutations in order to change specific phenotypes.

  • In order to perform studies of such design and test if previously defined quantitative data about the functioning of microorganisms (i.e., protein-to-RNA ratio) is applicable to real world consortia, we must first sample microbial communities across transition events and employ quantification techniques that are absolute.
