Background: Microarray technology has made it possible to simultaneously measure the expression levels of large numbers of genes in a short time. Gene expression data is informati...
Background: Many different aspects of cellular signalling, trafficking and targeting mechanisms are mediated by interactions between proteins and peptides. Representative examples...
Background: Defensins are antimicrobial peptides of innate immunity functioning by non-specific binding to anionic phospholipids in bacterial membranes. Their cationicity, amphipa...
Background: The recent accumulation of closely related genomic sequences provides a valuable resource for the elucidation of the evolutionary histories of various organisms. Howev...
the extensibility and evolution of network services and protocols had become a major research issue in recent years. The 'programmable' and 'active' network par...
