Applying advanced computational and experimental tools to explore surface electrostatics in chitinases

Understanding how proteins work is a major challenge in the post-genome era. Traditionally proteins have been studied by the use of numerous biochemical techniques, but as the number of proteins that needs to be characterized has increased, so has the num ber of in computo techniques to study pro...

Statistical tools for studying genetic architecture

Advances in molecular biology have revealed that most phenotypes are controlled by highly complex and interactive gene networks. This complex genetic basis is, however, not reflected in the rather simple genotype-phenotype maps postulated in population an d quantitative genetics. These models are...

A novel signal transduction pathway regulating cell separation processes in plants - the IDA/IDL network and their predicted partners.

Signaling mediated by small peptides is important in cell-to-cell communication. Few peptide ligands involved in cell signaling are known from plants and even less is known about the peptide-ligand-receptor pairs. A group of small putative peptide-ligands have recently been characterized by the ...
