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 Mcee often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- glyoxalase I/type I extradiol dioxygenase/antibiotic resistance protein metal-binding domain
- methylmalonyl-CoA epimerase
- enzyme
- protein binding
- Glyoxalase/Bleomycin resistance protein/Dioxygenase superfamily
