Open AccessPattern similarity study of functional sites in protein sequences: lysozymes and cystatins
Although it is generally agreed that topography is more conserved than sequences, proteins sharing the same fold can have different functions, while there are protein families with low sequence similarity. An ...

Cloning and Characterization of a Novel Mouse Short-Chain Dehydrogenases/Reductases cDNA, mHsdl2, Encoding a Protein with an SDR Domain and an SCP2 Domain
The short-chain dehydrogenases/reductases (SDRs) play an important role in the body's metabolism. We have cloned a novel mouse SDR cDNA, which encodes a deduced HSD-like protein with a conserved SDR domain and...
