The protein isoelectric point (pI) can be calculated from an amino acid sequence using
computational analysis in a good agreement with experimental data. Availability of whole …

What are the molecular properties of proteins that fall on the radar of protein quality control
(PQC)? Here we mutate the E. coli's gene encoding dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) and …

Background The distribution of isoelectric point (pI) of proteins in a proteome is universal for
all organisms. It is bimodal dividing the proteome into two sets of acidic and basic proteins …

Background The sizes of proteins are relevant to their biochemical structure and for their
biological function. The statistical distribution of protein lengths across a diverse set of taxa …

The single-celled cotton fibers, produced from seed coat epidermal cells are the largest
natural source of textile fibers. The economic value of cotton fiber lies in its length and …

Protein Purification provides a guide to the major techniques, including non-affinity
absorption techniques, affinity procedures, non-absorption techniques and methods for …

Laccases (LACs) are versatile enzymes that catalyze oxidation of a wide range of
substrates, thereby functioning in regulation of plant developmental processes and stress …

The hypervariable residues that compose the major part of proteins' surfaces are generally
considered outside evolutionary control. Yet, these “nonconserved” residues determine the …

The CCCH zinc finger is a group of proteins characterised by a typical motif consisting of
three cysteine residues and one histidine residue. These proteins have been reported to …

Lineage-specific genes (LSGs) are the genes that have no recognizable homology to any
sequences in other species, which are important drivers for the generation of new functions …
