Article: New findings from University of Connecticut in the area of proteomics published.

According to recent research published in the journal Frontiers in Bioscience, "In the study of protein-protein interactions, one is interested in identifying domains as well as short motifs that bind to these domains. Short motifs also confer functions to proteins such as post-translational modification, protein-protein interaction, and protein trafficking."

"Identification of domains is relatively easy since they are sufficiently long enough to render the likelihood of occurrences by random chance very low. On the other hand, the identification of motifs is a challenge since they are typically very short. Thus it is vital to develop efficient techniques to ...
