Structure, function and evolution of multidomain proteins

C Vogel, M Bashton, ND Kerrison, C Chothia… - Current opinion in …, 2004 - Elsevier
Proteins are composed of evolutionary units called domains; the majority of proteins consist
of at least two domains. These domains and nature of their interactions determine the …

Evolution of the protein repertoire

C Chothia, J Gough, C Vogel, SA Teichmann - Science, 2003 - science.org

Genesis, effects and fates of repeats in prokaryotic genomes

TJ Treangen, AL Abraham, M Touchon… - FEMS microbiology …, 2009 - academic.oup.com
