Classification tree based protein structure distances for testing sequence-structure correlation

Zintzaras, E. (2008)

A methodology for testing the correlation between the sequence and structure distances of proteins is proposed. Structure distances were derived by applying a forward growing classification tree algorithm on defined ...

Clinical validation of the LKB model and parameter sets for predicting radiation-induced pneumonitis from breast cancer radiotherapy

Evolution and taxonomic distribution of nonribosomal peptide and polyketide synthases

Amoutzias, G. D.; Van De Peer, Y.; Mossialos, D. (2008)

The majority of nonribosomal peptide synthases and type I polyketide synthases are multimodular megasynthases of oligopeptide and polyketide secondary metabolites, respectively. Owing to their multimodular architecture, ...

The expression of the epitope H recognized by the monoclonal antibody H is higher in astrocytomas compared to anaplastic astrocytomas and glioblastomas
