Tertiary structures of proteins can be very complex. Analyzing and recognizing common structural patterns is the first step in u

nderstanding how proteins form higherâorder structures. Two terms, domain and motif (also called fold), describe protein structural patterns. Classify each characteristic as a domain or a motif.
a. Always independently stable
b. Retains native structure even when separated from the rest of the protein
c. β Barrel
d. Calcium-binding segments of calmodulin
e. An advantageous folding pattern composed of two or more secondary structure elements

Answer:

a. Always independently stable. Domain

b. Retains native structure even when separated from the rest of the protein. Domain

c. β Barrel. Motif

d. Calcium-binding segments of calmodulin. Motif

e. An advantageous folding pattern composed of two or more secondary structure elements. Domain

f. Sometimes independently stable. Motif

Explanation:  

a. Protein domains are evolutionary conserved and stable 3D structures formed by a series of amino acids joined by peptide bonds.

b. Domains are stable because they conserve their tridimensional structure in physiological conditions even if they are separated of the rest of the protein.

c. The ß-barrel motif is a type of motif localized in single-stranded DNA viruses.

d. Calmodulin is a protein that contains calcium-binding motifs that enable to sense intracellular calcium levels.

e. Domain folding patterns are critical transitional states that allow the proteins their interaction with specific ligands in different physiological conditions.

f. Motifs are sometimes independently stable, but due to their short length (3-15 amino acids), protein motifs are generally unstable in different conditions.

Why is understanding the structure of DNA and how it is replicated important? List some technologies and practical applications
UNO [17]

The discovery of DNA, as well as understanding of its functioning and structure, may well be the most essential findings of the last century.  

The impact of the discovery of DNA on medical and scientific advancement has been huge, whether it involves the manufacturing and creation of drugs to cure the deadly diseases or to identify the genes, which stimulate several of the diseases.  

The understanding of DNA and its structural composition has led to the discovery of various technologies that helps in the fields like genetic testing, identifying viruses, crime investigation, production of genetically modified organisms, and various others.

In terms of communication, information is expressed either as the content of a message or through direct or indirect observation. That which is perceived can be construed as a message in its own right, and in that sense, information is always conveyed as the content of a message.

Information can be encoded into various forms for transmission and interpretation (for example, information may be encoded into a sequence of signs, or transmitted via a signal). It can also be encrypted for safe storage and communication.
