Structure and functions of a metallo-beta-lactamase- like hypothetical protein bleg1_2437 from alkali-tolerant soil bacterium Bacillus lehensis G1 by Tan, Soo Huei

“…In the present study, there are 1202 hypothetical proteins (HPs) have been discovered from newly sequenced genome of alkali-tolerant soil bacterium B. lehensis G1, HP Bleg1_2437 may likely be an MBL. Domain and sequence analysis of HP Bleg1_2437 using InterProScan and DELTA-BLAST revealed that this 23 kDa protein contains highly conserved metal-binding residues such as H54, H56, D58, H59, H131 and H191 that are similar with the those in subclass B3 of MBL that are involved in the coordination of two Zn2+ ions. …”

Self-healing algorithm for real-time multicast tree by Giam, Pin Leong.

“…Real-time multicast routing had been studied in depth and a number of multicast tree building algorithms had been proposed that take into consideration network cost and performance guarantee services like end-to-end delay constraint. However, these algorithms are not resilient to link failures and would require intensive computation and expensive restructuring of the routing tree. …”
