Sequence Alignment
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Sequence Alignment'The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms. |

Reduced capacity of alternative sigmas to melt promoters ensures stringent promoter recognition.
13 Oct 2009 
In bacteria, multiple sigmas direct RNA polymerase to distinct sets of promoters. Housekeeping sigmas direct transcription from thousands of promoters, whereas most alternative sigmas are more selective, recognizing more highly conserved promoter ... Read more...
Structure of yellow fever virus envelope protein domain III.
6 Oct 2009 The structure of recombinant domain III of the envelope protein (rED3) of yellow fever virus (YFV), containing the major neutralization site, was determined using NMR spectroscopy. The amino acid sequence and structure of the YFV-rED3 shows ... Read more...
30 Sep 2009 The Mre11/Rad50/Nbs1 protein complex plays central enzymatic and signaling roles in the DNA-damage response. Nuclease (Mre11) and scaffolding (Rad50) components of MRN have been extensively characterized, but the molecular basis of Nbs1 function has ... Read more...
