What is motif in protein structure?
In proteins, a structural motif describes the connectivity between secondary structural elements. An individual motif usually consists of only a few elements, e.g., the ‘helix-turn-helix’ motif which has just three. Structural motifs may also appear as tandem repeats.
Which of the common structural motifs are described wrongly?
Which of the common structural motifs are described wrongly? Explanation: In motif, two adjacent β parallel strands are connected by an α helix from the C-terminus of strand 1 to the N-terminus of strand. Most protein structures that contain parallel beta-sheets are built up from combinations of such β-α-βmotifs. 5.
What is a motif in proteins?
Protein motifs are small regions of protein three-dimensional structure or amino acid sequence shared among different proteins. They are recognizable regions of protein structure that may (or may not) be defined by a unique chemical or biological function.
What are some examples of motif?
Examples of Motif in Narrative Writing
- A repeated reference or visual of shattered glass (something in life is about to break)
- Recurring dishonest characters (to cue up the discovery of an unfaithful spouse)
- A character who constantly misplaces things (as the loss of someone or something significant is on the horizon)
What is self-assembly of protein?
The phenomenon of self-assembly in proteins and peptides is defined by “the noncovalent interaction of two or more molecular subunits to form a final aggregate, whose novel structure and properties are determined by the nature and positioning of the individual components”.
