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 Pcyox1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- Rossmann-fold NAD(P)(+)-binding proteins
- FAD binding
- prenylcysteine lyase
- prenylcysteine oxidase
