Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hscb often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- HSCB C-terminal oligomerization domain
- Fe-S protein assembly co-chaperone HscB
- Co-chaperone HscB tetracysteine metal binding motif
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
