The review provides information on proteins with structural repeats, including their
classification, characteristics, functions, and relevance in disease development. It explores …

The RepeatsDB database (URL: https://repeatsdb. org/) provides annotations and
classification for protein tandem repeat structures from the Protein Data Bank (PDB). Protein …

Proteins are relatively easy to synthesize, compared to nucleic acids and it is likely that there
existed a stage prior to the RNA world which can be called the protein world. Some of the …

Detection of protein structure similarity is a central challenge in structural bioinformatics.
Comparisons are usually performed at the polypeptide chain level, however the functional …

Proteins with two similar motifs in tandem are one of the most common cases of tandem
repeat proteins. The question arises: why is the first emerged repeat frequently fixed in the …

Protein regions consisting of arrays of tandem repeats are known to bind other molecular
partners, including nucleic acid molecules. Although the interactions between repeat …

LF3872 was isolated from the milk of a healthy lactating and breastfeeding woman. Earlier,
the genome of LF3872 was sequenced, and a gene encoding unique bacteriocin was …

We present a new approach based on the Slope Chain Code to determine whether a curve
is rotational symmetrical and its order of symmetry. The proposed approach works for open …

A major unresolved question in the origin of life is whether there exists a continuous path
from geochemical precursors to the majority of molecules in the biosphere, due in part to the …

Tandem repeats (TRs) in protein sequences are consecutive, highly similar sequence
motifs. Some types of TRs fold into structural units that pack together in ensembles, forming …
