Domain-based Comparative Analysis of Bacterial Proteomes: Uniqueness Interactions and the Dark Matter

摘要

Background: Proteins may have none, single, double, or multiple domains, while a single domain may appear in multiple proteins. Their distribution patterns may have impacts on bacterial physi-ology and lifestyle.Objective: This study aims to understand how domains are distributed and duplicated in bacterial prote-omes, in order to better understand bacterial physiology and lifestyles.
