False occurrences of functional motifs in protein sequences highlight evolutionary constraints

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>False occurrences of functional motifs in protein sequences can be considered as random events due solely to the sequence composition of a proteome. Here we use a numerical approach to investigate the random appearance of functional...
