In 2000, the protein structure initiative (PSI) began with the goal of finding the three dimensional structure of as many proteins as possible. In 2010, however, funding for the PSI was terminated. Nevertheless, millions of protein structures were found, and many structures were uncharacterized. One of these uncharacterized proteins found in Chitinophaga pinesis. Its molecular weight is 87.1 kDa. Through structural and sequential analysis on BLAST, PFam, Dali, and ProMol, 4Q7Q is believed to be a lipase. | In 2000, the protein structure initiative (PSI) began with the goal of finding the three dimensional structure of as many proteins as possible.

<b>BLAST</b>-Sequence homology between 4Q7Q was tested through BLAST; the top hit for 4Q7Q was 4M8K, a GDSL-like lipase. 4Q7Q and 4M8k share a 36% sequence homology, but a low E-value, indicating it is a significant match. | <b>BLAST</b>-Sequence homology between 4Q7Q was tested through BLAST; the top hit for 4Q7Q was 4M8K, a GDSL-like lipase. 4Q7Q and 4M8k share a 36% sequence homology, but a low E-value, indicating it is a significant match. | ||
