Abstract excerpt
The Rossmann-like fold is the most prevalent and diversified doubly-wound superfold of ancient evolutionary origin. Rossmann-like domains are present in a variety of metabolic enzymes and are capable of binding diverse ligands. Discerning evolutionary relationships among these domains is challenging because of their diverse functions and ancient origin. We defined a minimal Rossmann-like structural motif (RLM),...
