Can someone explain to me the difference between motif and domain in protein structure. Is a domain just repeated tertiary struc

tural units that are made up of motifs. For example repeated beta-barrels in a protein, that are made up of greek keys?

A protein domain is a conserved part of a given protein sequence and (tertiary) structure that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. Each domain<span> forms a compact three-dimensional structure and often can be independently stable and folded.

On the other hand, a motif is a </span>distinctive sequence<span> on a protein or DNA, having a three-dimensional structure that allows binding interactions to occur. Early on, clustering was used to detect common three-dimensional structural motifs in </span>proteins<span>.


I hope my answer has come to your help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly.</span>

What are the reasons for the several day delay in a primary response. Infection______. A. transport to secondary lymphoid tissue
Liula [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.

Explanation:

Primary immune response occurs due to the first exposure of an antigen to the immune system. The primary immune response is generally delayed by many days because it takes time for B and T cells to become cloned and to proliferate and differentiate.

Then after several days of proliferation and differentiation of activated T and B cells, T cells become effector T cells and B cell becomes plasma cells which then eliminates the antigen. Memory B and T cells are also produced during this process which helps in generating a quick immune response during the second and subsequent exposure of that antigen.

So the correct answer is D. proliferation and differentiation.

A DNA template strand contains the following sequence:
Nikitich [7]

Answer: Though the answer were not given, the complementary RNA strand is 5'UCCGAGGUC3'

Explanation: RNA is a single stranded nucleic acid produced from DNA. Four bases are usually found in DNA and they include adenine, Uracil, cytosine and guanine whereas adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine are found in DNA. In RNA base pairing, wherever adenine is found in the DNA template strand, uracil occurs in the RNA strand, wherever thymine is found in the DNA template strand, adenine occurs in the RNA strand and anywhere cytosine occurs in the DNA template strand, guanine occurs in the RNA strand. This means that adenine pairs with uracil, cytosine pairs with guanine and thymine pairs with adenine.
