| Research Abstract |
It is proposed that triplet repeats in coding regions are more likely to form disordered region in protein structure. It is suggested that disordered regions evolve faster. In this study, I examine the relationship between the evolutionary rate and protein structure for triplet repeats in coding regions. I showed that the repeats in non-disordered region evolved faster than disordered region during primate evolution. Here I revealed primate specific evolution on coding triplet repeats.
