Define subunit and domain structure in protein.
  • 1 answers

Meghna Thapar 4 years, 3 months ago

Many proteins have a quaternary structure, which consists of several polypeptide chains that associate into an oligomeric molecule. Each polypeptide chain in such a protein is called a subunit. ... In domain swapping, a secondary or tertiary element of a monomeric protein is replaced by the same element of another protein. Many protein molecules are composed of more than one subunit, where each subunit is a separate polypeptide chain and can form a stable folded structure by itself. In structural biology, a protein subunit is a single protein molecule that assembles (or "coassembles") with other protein molecules to form a protein complex. Some naturally occurring proteins have a relatively small number of subunits and therefore described as oligomeric, for example hemoglobin or DNA polymerase.
