A gene exhibits different biological functions when it participates in different functional pathways.
If these biosynthetic pathways are functional, the resulting peptides may exert different biological functions in plant bacteria interactions.
These two LPS components have different biological functions: the lipid A molecule is the biologically active, immunotoxic part of LPS, while the polysaccharide structure has antigenic properties.
However, some lose or gain functional domains, suggesting that they might exhibit different biological functions.
Within different functional compartments there are also special proteins that perform different biological functions.
It is widely accepted that biological systems are composed of functional modules with specific combinations of genes and proteins responsible for different biological functions [ 16, 17].
Different root development mutants permitted the identification of genes involved in different biological functions.
They have similar structure to the phagocytic NAPDH but different biological functions.
Hierarchical microporous and macroporous structures in scaffold contribute different biological functions to tissue regeneration.
These DEGs were involved in the multiple different biological functions, including induction of cell wall and lipid synthesis, secondary metabolism, defense responses, hormone signaling and suppression of photosynthesis.
Histone lysine residues can be mono-, di-, or trimethylated, where each distinct methyl state may have different biological functions (Bannister and Kouzarides 2004).
