Paralogous genes are genes which descend from a progenitor gene which has duplicated as an ancestral gene, each copy having diverged prior to speciation. With comprehensive information available on functions of Escherichia coli proteins, analysis of sequence-related E. coli paralogous proteins can give information on the early ancestors of families of proteins now residing in many contemporary ...

The analysis of the balance elastase (MMP-2, MMP-9) and TIMP-4 was performed in order to determine their involvement pathogenesis NEC. A progressive duration NEC with sepsis is accompanied by increased serum concentrations MMP-9, MMP-2 TIMP-4. Increases MMP-2>503 ng/ml, MMP-9>812 ng/ml TIMP-4>1404 can be regarded as statistically significant predictors fatal outcome proposed method for...
