MaxSub: an automated measure for the assessment of protein structure prediction qualityN Siew
Department of Chemistry, Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva 84015, Israel
Bioinformatics 16:776-85. 2000..Overall, the top six predicting groups ranked using the fully automated MaxSub are also the top six groups ranked at CASP3. We conclude that MaxSub is a suitable method for the automatic evaluation of models...
The ORFanage: an ORFan databaseNaomi Siew
Department of Chemistry, Ben Gurion University, Beer Sheva 84105, Israel
Nucleic Acids Res 32:D281-3. 2004..The ORFanage could help in choosing interesting targets for further genomic and evolutionary studies. The ORFanage is accessible via http://www.bioinformatics.buffalo. edu/ORFanage...
Structural biology sheds light on the puzzle of genomic ORFansNaomi 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...
A putative novel alpha/beta hydrolase ORFan family in BacillusNaomi 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...
Twenty thousand ORFan microbial protein families for the biologist?Naomi Siew
Department of Chemistry, Department of Computer Science, Ben Gurion University, Beer-Sheva 84105, Israel
Structure 11:7-9. 2003..In this minireview, we draw attention to the increasing number of ORFans and to the consequences of this growth to biological research in the postgenomic era...
Analysis of singleton ORFans in fully sequenced microbial genomesNaomi Siew
Department of Chemistry, Ben Gurion University, Beer-Sheva, Israel
Proteins 53:241-51. 2003..Further computational and experimental studies aimed at understanding Nature's protein diversity should also include ORFans...
