Example sentences for: superfamilies

How can you use “superfamilies” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • These include the PAS-like fold, which is the scaffold of the PAS [ 11 12 ] , GAF [ 13 ] , and probably the CACHE [ 14 ] superfamilies, and the ACT-like fold, which is seen in ACT, ferredoxin and related ligand-binding domains [ 4 15 ] . Identification of such conserved domains has, often, improved our understanding of the general structural and biochemical features that underlie protein-small molecule interactions.

  • We also identify the potential active site- and substrate interacting-residues and postulate that these enzymes are likely to catalyze a two-metal ion dependent reaction on structural scaffold that is completely different from that seen in the other two superfamilies of adenylyl cyclases.

  • Analysis of the conserved protein superfamilies within these folds and their phyletic distribution patterns suggests that diverse versions of these domains with distinct functions were already present in LUCA.

  • For protein superfamilies, 21 out of 606 families account for half of the 15,450 assigned domains, and only 37 of 1,936 InterPro families match half of the 12,589 assigned proteins.

  • PIR [ 7 ] classifies proteins into either a homeomorphic superfamily (proteins containing similar domains in the same order) or a homology domain superfamily (proteins from different homeomorphic superfamilies sharing a common ancestral domain).
