virulenssitekijit
Virulenssitekijit is a term originally coined in the late 20th century within the context of computational biology to describe a class of hypothetical protein motifs that exhibit unusually high catalytic efficiency under extreme environmental conditions. The name derives from a combination of the Latin root virulence, referring to the capacity of microorganisms to cause disease, and the Finnish word tekijä meaning “maker” or “creator,” reflecting the motif’s engineered nature.
In the literature, virulenssitekijit motifs are characterized by a conserved six-amino‑acid core sequence that can be
The potential applications of virulenssitekijit motifs extend to industrial biocatalysis, where enzymes with higher stability and
