Domain Of Unknown Function
A domain of unknown function (DUF) is a protein domain that has no characterised function. These families have been collected together in the Pfam database using the prefix DUF followed by a number, with examples being DUF2992 and DUF1220. As of 2019, there are almost 4,000 DUF families within the Pfam database representing over 22% of known families. Some DUFs are not named using the nomenclature due to popular usage but are nevertheless DUFs. The DUF designation is tentative, and such families tend to be renamed to a more specific name (or merged to an existing domain) after a function is identified. History The DUF naming scheme was introduced by Chris Ponting, through the addition of DUF1 and DUF2 to the SMART (database), SMART database. These two domains were found to be widely distributed in bacterial signaling proteins. Subsequently, the functions of these domains were identified and they have since been renamed as the GGDEF domain and EAL domain respectively. Characterisati ...

It was a reformulation of the prior Drug Use Forecasting (DUF) program, which focused on five drugs in particular: cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine, opiates, and Phencyclidine, PCP. AS ADAM it included tests for 9 drugs and self report of a long list of others. Methodology Participants were randomly selected from arrest records in jails and booking facilities in major metropolitan areas; no personally identifying information is taken from each record chosen, and prevalence estimates can be generated regarding those arrested in the catchment area covered by the jail. ADAM began as the Drug Use Forecasting ...
