Superfamily
a taxonomic category used in the more thoroughly studied classes of animals to combine phylogenetically similar families within an order. In Latin, superfamilies are indicated by attaching the suffix “-oidea” to the name of the oldest family of the group. Thus, the superfamily Feloidea comprises the families Viverridae, Hyaenidae, and Felidae. Want to thank TFD for its existence?

No references found | 50 Hardcover QH603 The aims of this volume are to describe a range of molecular, structural, and cell biological protocols currently used to investigate the structure-function of nuclear receptors (a superfamily of ligand- activated transcription factors that act principally to directly control patterns of gene expression) and to discuss experimental approaches that may lead to new therapeutic strategies for treating nuclear receptor-associated diseases. [ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] Chris Darling SENIOR CURATOR Entomology Chris Darling is setting up an insect-sampling program in Gunung Mulu National Park to inventory a group of small parasitoid wasps of the superfamily Platygastroidea. While characterizing HMP-P synthase, the researchers were surprised to learn from the enzyme's structure that it belongs to a larger superfamily of enzymes - the radical SAM group - that performs "heavy-duty chemistry" like the reaction that produces HMP-P. |
