Protein subfamily

Index Protein subfamily

Protein subfamily is a level of protein classification, based on their close evolutionary relationship. [1]

7 relations: Molecular evolution, Protein, Protein family, Protein superfamily, Sequence homology, Sequence motif, Structural Classification of Proteins database.

Molecular evolution

Molecular evolution is the process of change in the sequence composition of cellular molecules such as DNA, RNA, and proteins across generations.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Protein family

A protein family is a group of evolutionarily-related proteins.

Protein superfamily

A protein superfamily is the largest grouping (clade) of proteins for which common ancestry can be inferred (see homology).

Sequence homology

Sequence homology is the biological homology between DNA, RNA, or protein sequences, defined in terms of shared ancestry in the evolutionary history of life.

Sequence motif

In genetics, a sequence motif is a nucleotide or amino-acid sequence pattern that is widespread and has, or is conjectured to have, a biological significance.

Structural Classification of Proteins database

The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a largely manual classification of protein structural domains based on similarities of their structures and amino acid sequences.
