Structural Classification of Joints
8.0K
Joints, also known as articulations, are classified based on their structural characteristics, i.e., based on whether the articulating surfaces of the adjacent bones are directly connected by fibrous connective tissue or cartilage, or whether the articulating surfaces contact each other within a fluid-filled joint cavity. These differences serve to divide the joints of the body into three structural classifications.

Functional Classification of Joints
The functional classification of joints is determined by the amount of mobility between the adjacent bones. Joints are functionally classified as a synarthrosis or immobile joint, an amphiarthrosis or slightly moveable joint, or as a diarthrosis, a freely moveable joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints can be functionally classified as either synarthroses or amphiarthroses, whereas all synovial joints are classified as diarthroses.

Genome Annotation and Assembly
21.2K
The genome refers to all of the genetic material in an organism. It can range from a few million base pairs in microbial cells to several billion base pairs in many eukaryotic organisms. Genome assembly refers to the process of taking the DNA sequencing data and putting it all back together in a correct order to create a close representation of the original genome. This is followed by the identification of functional elements on the newly assembled genome, a process called genome annotation.

Ligand Binding and Linkage
5.8K
Allosteric proteins have more than one ligand binding site; the binding of a ligand to any of these sites influences the binding of ligands to the other sites. When a protein is allosteric, its binding sites are called coupled or linked. In the case of enzymes, the site that binds to the substrate is known as the active site and the other site is known as the regulatory site. When a ligand binds to the regulatory site, this leads to conformational changes in the protein that can influence...

概括
使用AlphaFold模型的基于结构的蛋白质域注释显示出希望,Reseek在灵敏度方面表现出色. 然而,像HMMER这样的序列配置文件方法对于家族级别的注释仍然优越,特别是当包含配置文件信息时.
科学领域:
- 计算生物学 计算生物学
- 结构生物信息学 结构生物信息学
- 蛋白质信息学 蛋白质信息学
背景情况:
- 准确的蛋白质域注释对于理解蛋白质功能至关重要.
- 像Pfam这样的数据库使用序列衍生签名,但基于结构的方法为远距离相关的蛋白质提供了更高的灵敏度.
- AlphaFold提供精确的蛋白质结构预测,使新的基于结构的注释方法成为可能.
研究的目的:
