  • Sera from residual specimens from NHANES 2001-2002 participants were tested for levels of IgG antibodies against cancer antigen (CA) 125, CA15.3 and human epididymal secretory protein 4 (HE4). (cdc.gov)
  • The c-Cbl tyrosine kinase binding domain (Cbl-TKB), essentially an 'embedded' SH2 domain, has a critical role in targeting proteins for ubiquitination. (rcsb.org)
  • As TMV has a stoichiometry of three nucleotides per protein subunit, the sequence of TMV RNA suggested to be the nucleation site for self-assembly of the virus has three possible binding frames. (nature.com)
  • Though the representation used is conceptually simplistic, we demonstrate that along with the new alignment strategy used, it is sufficient to enable binding comparison with high sensitivity. (nih.gov)
  • In this paper, we implemented a novel deep neural network model, DeepRKE, which combines primary RNA sequence and secondary structure information to effectively predict RBP binding sites. (biomedcentral.com)
  • The distributed representations are taken as input of convolutional neural networks (CNN) and bidirectional long-term short-term memory networks (BiLSTM) to identify RBP binding sites. (biomedcentral.com)
  • b ) Volcano plot showing the distribution of proteins according to their enrichment in crosslinked (CL) over non-CL samples. (nature.com)
  • In vivo, Myc proteins have been found associated with Max, another basic helix4oop-helix/leucine-zipper protein. (uu.nl)
