DNA-binding proteins (DBPs) participate in various biological processes including DNA replication, recombination, and repair. In the human genome, about 6-7% of these proteins are utilized for genes encoding. DBPs shape the DNA into a compact structu...
The zinc (Zn) cofactor has been proven to be involved in numerous biological mechanisms and the zinc-binding site is recognized as one of the most important post-translation modifications in proteins. Therefore, accurate knowledge of zinc ions in pro...
BACKGROUND: Transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in the regulation of gene expression. They can activate or block transcription of downstream genes in a manner of binding to specific genomic sequences. Therefore, motif discovery of these ...
Metals have crucial roles for many physiological, pathological and diagnostic processes. Metal binding proteins or metalloproteins are important for metabolism functions. The proteins that reach the three-dimensional structure by folding show which v...
