Ethnic group from Borneo

Ethnic group

Bidayuh is the collective name for several indigenous groups found in southern Sarawak, Malaysia and northern West Kalimantan, Indonesia, on the island of Borneo, which are broadly similar in language and culture (see also issues below). The name Bidayuh means 'inhabitants of land'. Originally from the western part of Borneo, the collective name Land Dayak was first used during the period of Rajah James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak. At times, they were also lesser referred to as Klemantan people. They constitute one of the main indigenous groups in Sarawak and West Kalimantan and live in towns and villages around Kuching and Serian in the Malaysian state of Sarawak, while in the Indonesian province of West Kalimantan they are mainly concentrated in the northern Sanggau Regency. In Sarawak, most of Bidayuh population can be found within 40 km of the geographical area known as Greater Kuching, within the Kuching and Serian Division. They are the second-largest Dayak ethnic group in Sarawak after the Iban and one of the major Dayak tribes in West Kalimantan.

Settlement areas

Predominantly Bidayuh areas in Sarawak are in the suburban areas of the state capital city of Kuching (Penrissen as well as Padawan areas), Lundu, Siburan, Bau and Serian. Most Bidayuh villages can be found in the rural areas of Padawan, Lundu, Penrissen, Bau and Serian. The area

   Biography

   Mahathir bin Mohamad is a Malaysian politician, author, and physician who served as the fourth and seventh prime minister of Malaysia. He held office from 1981 to 2003 and later from 2018 to 2020 for a cumulative total of 24 years, making him the country's longest-serving prime minister. Before becoming premier, he served as deputy prime minister and in other cabinet positions. He was a member of Parliament for Langkawi from 2018 to 2022, Kubang Pasu from 1974 to 2004, and Kota Star Selatan from 1964 to 1969. His political career spanned more than 75 years, from joining protests opposing citizenship policies for non-Malays in the Malayan Union in the 1940s to forming the Gerakan Tanah Air coalition in 2022.

   Biography

   Anwar bin Ibrahim is a Malaysian politician who has served as the tenth Prime Minister of Malaysia since 2022. He served as the 12th and 16th Leader of the Opposition from 2008 to 2015 and again from 2020 to 2022. He has been the chairman of the Pakatan Harapan (PH) coalition since 2020, the second President of the People's Justice Party (PKR) since 2018 and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tambun since November 2022. He also served as Deputy Prime Minister and in many other Cabinet positions in the Barisan Nasional (BN) administration under former Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad from 1982 to his remov

Abstract

A popular and successful strategy in semi-rational design of protein stability is the use of evolutionary information encapsulated in homologous protein sequences. Consensus design is based on the hypothesis that at a given position, the respective consensus amino acid contributes more than average to the stability of the protein than non-conserved amino acids. Here, we review the consensus design approach, its theoretical underpinnings, successes, limitations and challenges, as well as providing a detailed guide to its application in protein engineering.

Keywords: consensus design, multiple sequence alignment, protein stability, semi-rational design, statistical sequence analysis, thermostability

Introduction

Directed evolution and informatics-based rational design are transforming the field of protein engineering (Arnold and Volkov, 1999; Jiang et al., 2008; Lutz, 2010; Brustad and Arnold, 2011; Bornscheuer et al., 2012; Joh et al., 2014; Woolfson et al., 2015). Semi-rational or knowledge-based hybrid approaches, which mix rational design with directed evolution schemes, to create small libraries of very high quality, have gained substantial momentum (Patrick and Firth, 2005; Lutz, 2010; Wijma et al., 2013, 2014; Magliery, 2015). Typically, information from protein structure, function, sequence homology and predictive computational algorithms are combined to preselect sites for focussed mutagenesis with limited amino acid diversity. This focus translates into dramatically reduced library sizes with a major increase in functional content, allowing for a more efficient sampling of sequence space.

A popular strategy in semi-rational design of stability is the use of evolutionary information encapsulated in homologous protein sequences. Multiple sequence alignments (MSAs) and phylogenetic analyses have become standard tools for exploring sequence conservation (Steipe et al., 1994) and ancestral relationships (Pauling et al., 1963; Yang
