Nematode chemoreceptors are chemoreceptors of nematodes. Animals recognise a wide variety of chemicals using their senses of taste and smell. The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans has only 14 types of chemosensory […]

Coagulin
Coagulin is a gel-forming protein of hemolymph that hinders the spread of invaders by immobilising them.The protein contains a single 175- residue polypeptide chain; this is cleaved after Arg-18 and […]
Bacterial ice-nucleation proteins
Bacterial ice-nucleation proteins is a family of proteins that enable Gram-negative bacteria to promote nucleation of ice at relatively high temperatures (above -5C). These proteins are localised at the outer […]
Influenza non-structural protein
Influenza non-structural protein (NS1) is a homodimeric RNA-binding protein found in influenza virus that is required for viral replication. NS1 binds polyA tails of mRNA keeping them in the nucleus. […]
Herpesvirus glycoprotein B
Herpesvirus glycoprotein B is a viral glycoprotein that is involved in the viral cell entry of Herpes simplex virus (HSV). Herpesviruses have an envelope and an outer lipid bilayer which […]
PRIMA1
Proline-rich membrane anchor 1 also known as PRiMA is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PRIMA1 gene. PRiMA functions to organize acetylcholinesterase (AChE) into tetramers and to […]
Thymidylate kinase
Thymidylate kinase (EC 2.7.4.9; dTMP kinase) catalyzes the phosphorylation of thymidine 5′-monophosphate (dTMP) to form thymidine 5′-diphosphate (dTDP) in the presence of ATP and magnesium: ATP + thymidine 5′-phosphate ADP […]
FOXA1
Forkhead box protein A1 (FOXA1) also known as hepatocyte nuclear factor 3-alpha (HNF-3A) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FOXA1 gene.
Retroviral aspartyl protease
Retroviral aspartyl proteases are single domain aspartyl proteases from retroviruses retrotransposons and badnaviruses (plant dsDNA viruses). These proteases are generally part of a larger pol or gag polyprotein. Retroviral proteases […]
RNA recognition motif
RNA recognition motif RNP-1 is a putative RNA-binding domain of about 90 amino acids that are known to bind single-stranded RNAs.
