Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein…
![Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/11503.jpg)
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain. Although these domains are often…
![Intrinsically Disordered Proteins](https://jovecdn2.ccindex.cn/files/media/science-education/science-education-thumbs/11505.jpg)
Intrinsically disordered proteins are a group of proteins that do not fold into specific three-dimensional structures. Their structural flexibility…
