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 Ywhaq often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.

  • 14-3-3 domain
  • pseudosubstrate domain
  • alpha helix
  • ion channel binding
  • 14-3-3 protein
  • protein domain specific binding
  • protein binding
  • identical protein binding
