Bioinformatic Comparison of Structures and Homology-Models of Matrix Metalloproteinases
5 Nov 2003
Abstract excerpt
The entire family of human matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) was investigated using phylogenetic trees and homology modeling. The phylogenetic analysis indicates that individual domains of each MMP have evolved in a correlated manner. Despite their high sequence similarity, the phylogenetic tree of the catalytic domains already allows functional (e.g., linked to regulation and substrate recognition) homologies...
