Chapter 4, Problem 16Q

Summary Introduction

To explain: Whether the fragment of protein folds same as it is in intact protein.

Introduction:

Each protein has a specialized type of folding formed through the three-dimensional arrangement alpha helixes and beta sheets altogether making a tertiary structure to perform a specific function. The proteins can be described structurally as domains or motifs. The exacting arrangement of proteins or else the secondary structure commonly found in other proteins is called the motifs, while the arrangement associated with a particular function is called as the domain of a protein. These domains independently fold to form a stable structure and perform its function. A protein may contain single or otherwise multiple domains.

Summary Introduction

To find: The fragment of the protein domain that can fold properly as the intact protein in fig. 4-19.
