Structural genomics analysis of
uncharacterized protein families overrepresented in human gut...
Gilmore recalls having the «Wow» moment while looking at the sequences rather than the physical protein: «When we got the sequence back, the first thing I did was to sort by size, and at the top you could see a large,
uncharacterized protein.
Integrative bioinformatics for functional annotation of
uncharacterized proteins and target discovery
We build detailed 3D atomic models of
the uncharacterized proteins and their complexes to derive hypotheses that, in close collaboration with the experimentalists, help to predict and understand their function and networks.
This initial project focused on 50
uncharacterized proteins that, based on literature searches, showed some likelihood of being associated with human disease.
Drawing conclusions from this large number of proteins analyzed we have put forward a scheme for systematic localization of
uncharacterized proteins, pointing at potential pitfalls of each method and when and how you need to complement the methods or use other methods», says Emma Lundberg.
