Rec a protein

rec A protein

(Science: protein) A protein (40 kD) product of the rec (recombination) gene, that catalyses the pairing of a single stranded piece of dNA with its complementary sequence, displacing a loop of single stranded DNA (d loop).

It catalyses the aTP-driven exchange of dNA strands in genetic recombination. The product of the reaction consists of a duplex and a displaced single-stranded loop which has the shape of the letter d and is therefore called a d-loop structure.

ATP is hydrolyzed to aDP during the reaction; also has proteolytic activity.

amount of protein in body

I was just wondering where out there i can get information on the ranking of proteins that co-exist in different body fluids and in cellular compartmets. Like the amount of albumin or igG etc in the body. I am not sure where to start looking- can anyone help me out? Cheers Gubster

Re: How to find motif frequencies

I dont have enough experience to give lab advices..but you could use hydropathy plot for determing hydrophilic and hydrophobic parts of protein thus predicting its conformation

Re: Paramutation

... activity) than mutations in that RNA could make exceptions from paramutation rule. So two genes are involved? This reminds me on prions,as prion protein originates from normal protein but it's conformation changed(often higher percent of beta sheets..).
