Takeaki Ozawa, Yoshio Umezawa, in Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, 2001 Protein biosynthesis was initially thought to be a simple process in which the genetic information in DNA was directly copied into messenger RNAs, which in turn directed the biosynthesis of proteins. But an unexpected disco...

Nonetheless CDIs, at least by our strict definition and at the taxonomic depth examined here, appear to be too rare for quantitative phylogeny. Although it has been argued that such macromolecular characters or “rare genomic changes” are relatively free of phylogenetic artifact [24, 25, 27],...
It is important to note again that there is no one definition of the best structural alignment56,57 and that this task becomes increasingly ambiguous as the remoteness of the homolog increases and the number of homologous residues declines. This was apparent in the Malidup benchmark, where the...
To assess the interaction between the protein and the ligand within the predicted complex structure, we determine the extent of intermolecular native contact formation. We adopt a definition similar to that of the Local Distance Difference Test (LDDT) score, previously employed for quantifying the nat...
