  • Taxonomic distribution of proteins containing GYF domain. (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • The complete taxonomic breakdown of all proteins with GYF domain is also avaliable . (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • Click on the protein counts, or double click on taxonomic names to display all proteins containing GYF domain in the selected taxonomic class. (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • Thus, the architecture of the GYF domain may be widely used in protein-protein associations. (embl-heidelberg.de)
  • This domain is found in a number of otherwise unrelated proteins. (sdsc.edu)
  • The crystal structure of AF1521 (a Macro domain-only protein from Archaeoglobus fulgidus) has also been reported and compared with other Macro domain containing proteins. (sdsc.edu)
  • IGFBP-3 , the most abundant protein, accounts for 80% of all IGF binding. (proteopedia.org)
  • By contrast, canonical proteins have evolved to deplete C-terminal hydrophobic residues. (bvsalud.org)
  • Well conserved residues form a hydrophobic cleft and cluster around the AF1521-ADP-ribose binding site [5]. (sdsc.edu)
  • In this work, FMDV 3A homodimerization was evidenced by an in situ protein fluorescent ligation assay. (asm.org)
  • Nile tilapia was enzymatically hydrolyzed by several commercially available proteases (Alcalase 2.4 L, Neutrase and Flavourzyme), with protein recovery of 89.86, 81.92 and 73.12%, respectively. (scialert.net)
  • The clarin 1 protein is thought to be expressed in mouse cochlea transiently from embryonic day 18 (E18) to postnatal day 6 (P6) in basal parts of the hair cells, whereas in apical parts (stereocilia) clarin 1 expression is lost already at P1. (molvis.org)
  • Because ER-directed TMDs favor arrangement of hydrophobic residues to one side, we sought to explore the role of geometric hydrophobic properties. (caltech.edu)
