    Naomi Siew
    Department of Chemistry, Ben Gurion University Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel
    J Mol Biol 342:369-73. 2004
    ..Although this survey sheds some light on the ORFan mystery, further experimental studies are required to gain a better understanding of the role and origins of the tens of thousands of ORFans awaiting characterization...

    Naomi Siew
    Department of Chemistry, Ben Gurion University, Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel
    FEBS Lett 579:3175-82. 2005
    ..We suggest possible catalytic triads for the ORFans and propose a hypothesis regarding the possible families within the alpha/beta hydrolase superfamily to which they may belong...
