| Popis: |
The role of knots in proteins is still unclear. In this short review, we summarize the current knowledge about structural and dynamical differences between knotted and unknotted proteins. We show how the topological difference helps to distinguish the physical properties, characterize the biological activity or identify the biological function of knotted proteins. This knowledge can be used to correctly annotate protein family members and to identify new members. |
