Background: The identification and study of proteins from metagenomic datasets can shed light on the roles and interactions of the source organisms in their communities. However, ...
Background: Sequencing of prokaryotic genomes has recently revealed the presence of CRISPR elements: short, highly conserved repeats separated by unique sequences of similar lengt...
The tertiary (3D) structure of a protein contains the essential information for understanding the biological function of the protein at the molecular and cellular levels. Traditio...
