Predicting copper-, iron-, and zinc-binding proteins in pathogenic species of the Paracoccidioides genus

Abstract excerpt

Approximately one-third of all proteins have been estimated to contain at least one metal cofactor, and these proteins are referred to as metalloproteins. These represent one of the most diverse classes of proteins, containing metal ions that bind to specific sites to perform catalytic, regulatory and structural functions. Bioinformatic tools have been developed to predict metalloproteins encoded by an organism...
