Abstract

Proteases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolytic degradation of other proteins into peptides or amino acids through the digestion of the peptide bond. Promiscuous proteases that target a wide range of proteins are distinguished from specific proteases that have a narrow range of substrates. In terms of activity, endoproteases cleave their substrates at specific residues within the target proteins, whereas exoproteases cleave from one extremity and may have processive activities. Proteases are therefore very useful tools to study proteins, notably their structure or conformation. In addition, proteases can be used to probe the topology of bacterial membrane proteins. Here, we describe limited protease accessibility assays to define inner membrane protein topology and conformational changes based on digestion profiles.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 November 2023.
All research outputs
#16,839,545
of 24,761,242 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#5,797
of 13,884 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#7,977
of 15,788 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#12
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,761,242 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,884 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 15,788 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 50% of its contemporaries.
