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 Chtf8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- single-stranded DNA dependent ATP dependent DNA helicase
- Ctf8
- DNA clamp loader
- enzyme
