[Investigation of the amino acid sequences of open reading frames of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complete genome with the use of the protein family pattern bank Prof_Pat].

The new version of protein family patterns bank Prof_Pat 1.16 was used to investigate 3924 amino acid sequences of open reading frames of Mycobacterium tuberculosis strain H37Rv. The similarity to proteins with the known function was confirmed for 2772 amino acid sequences. Possible functions for 44 thus far unidentified sequences of open reading frames were determined.
