Frage 1
Frage
Of known structures (60-80% of genes) how many are multidomain proteins?
Frage 2
Frage
Different combinations of domains are advantageous because they allow the organism to specialise
Frage 3
Frage
How can we recognize domains?
Antworten
-
DNA sequencing
-
Amino acid sequencing
-
Structure
-
Topology (fold)
Frage 4
Frage
Why are DNA/amino acid sequencing of little use when investigating relationships between proteins?
Antworten
-
As diversion occurs, sequence patterns are lost even as the fold remains the same
-
They can detect short evolutionary relationships only
-
The techniques for reading the sequences are unreliable
-
Identical sequences can give different aa sequences/folds
Frage 5
Frage
When investigating using structure, how do we identify domains?
Frage 6
Frage
There is a limited number of folds in nature (10^3-4)
Frage 7
Frage
Structural similarity occurs from what kind of evolution?
Frage 8
Frage
Sequence is more highly conserved than protein structure
Frage 9
Frage
Define convergent evolution
Antworten
-
The independent evolution of similar features in different lineages
-
The carrying of a feature from a common ancestor into two lines, which allows the reconvergence of the two lines into a single species again
-
The dependent evolution of similar features in two species that interact/co-operate closely
