Background: Most profile and motif databases strive to classify protein sequences into a broad spectrum of protein families. The next step of such database studies should include ...
Background: Many protein families have undergone functional divergence after gene duplications such that current subgroups of the family carry out overlapping but distinct biologi...

There are currently a large number of ‘‘orphan’’ G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) whose endogenous ligands (peptide hormones) are unknown. Identification of these pepti...
Background: Protein sequence motifs are by definition short fragments of conserved amino acids, often associated with a specific function. Accordingly protein sequence profiles de...
