Does the structural similarity of certain pigments across kingdoms
allow bacteria to modulate host cellular functions or engage in
molecular mimicry?
Do these properties have important implication
for human diseases?
Perhaps quite possible that these conserved domains of PIGMENT might have similarity with host proteins. Molecular mimicry does play role on modulation of cellular functions.
I have a response variable called skin yellowness, which I will measure via a scored color chart, whereby 1 is pale yellow and 15 is orange. I'm not sure if this counts as an ordinal variable,...
