Order in Chaos: Lesser-Conserved and Repeat Structures in Dehydrins by G. Richard Strimbeck

“…An examination of the connecting segments bridging the conserved segments identified additional conserved patterns, suggesting that multi-Y, S-K, and K-S domains may act as functional units. Dhn Decoder identified 857 Dhns with repeat structures, ranging from 3 short, simple repeats to elaborate variations with up to 45 repeats or repeats of up to 85 residues comprising 1 or more of the conserved segments, suggesting that internal sequence duplication is an important mode of evolution in Dhns.…”
