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 rat Ddx55 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Domain of unknown function (DUF4217)
  • helicase superfamily c-terminal domain
  • DEAD/DEAH box helicase
  • Type III restriction enzyme, res subunit
  • N-terminal helicase domain of the DEAD-box helicase superfamily
  • enzyme
  • protein binding
  • DEAD-like helicases superfamily
  • Helicase conserved C-terminal domain
  • P-loop containing Nucleoside Triphosphate Hydrolases
