ECOD: An Evolutionary Classification of Protein Domains (2014, background): “However, SCOP tends to be conservative in assessing evolutionary relationships, and many homologous links reported in literature are not currently reflected [6,7,8,9,10,11].”
Protein repeats: structures, functions, and evolution. (2001, background): “This scenario has recently been suggested for the evolution of the b-trefoil fold (Ponting and Russell, 2000).”
Evolution of interleukin-1β (2002, background): “More recent work has analysed the significance of sequence identities observed after structure alignment, which has provided evidence that -trefoil proteins are homologous, having arisen from a common ancestor [210].”
