    Citation: BMC Biophysics 2017 10:8

    Published on:

  7. Content type: Research article

    Proteins with low sequence identity but almost identical tertiary structure and function have been valuable to uncover the relationship between sequence, tertiary structure, folding mechanism and functions. Tw...
