Kateprosentin
Kateprosentin is a fictional protein commonly used in educational materials and thought experiments to illustrate concepts in molecular biology, bioinformatics, and protein design. The name is a constructed term, not tied to a real gene or organism.
In typical representations, Kateprosentin is a 180–230 amino acid, single-chain globular protein with an estimated molecular
Proposed functions in these contexts include catalytic activity for a hypothetical metabolic step, a regulatory adaptor
Use in bioinformatics: Kateprosentin serves as a test-case for motif finding, secondary-structure prediction, and structure-modeling pipelines.
Origin and status: The term originated in teaching materials and online resources to provide a neutral, hypothetical
