Analysis of the intein's evolution

Inteins are internal segment peptides which can self-splicing at the protein level. Although inteins are found in all three domains of life, they are not evenly distributed among species and proteins. So the evolution of intein have been capturing much at

Analysis of the characteristic sequence of intein and revision of its motifs

Since the first intein (Sce VMA) was found in Saccharomydes cerevisiae ATPases gene in 1990, more and more inteins were identified. It is necessary to analyze the new inteins to understand the sequence charateristics of inteins. By searching protein and n

Recent advance in the study of intein

Since the first intein was found, more and more attention were paid on it. It not only enrichs the content of the process that the gene transfers its information but also can be used in protein purification. The recent advance in the sequence characterist
