Answer: A protein domain is a region of the protein's polypeptide chain that is self-stabilizing and that folds

independently from the rest. Each domain forms a compact folded three-dimensional structure. Many proteins consist of several domains.

One domain may appear in a variety of different proteins. Molecular evolution uses domains as building blocks and these may be recombined in different arrangements to create proteins with different functions.

In general, domains vary in length from between about 50 amino acids up to 250 amino acids in length.

The shortest domains, such as zinc fingers, are stabilized by metal ions or disulfide bridges. Domains often form functional units, such as the calcium binding EF-hand domain of calmodulin.

Because they are independently stable, domains can be "swapped" by genetic engineering between one protein and another to make chimeric proteins.

Children are spending less time outdoors in nature because of which reason(s)

Mrrafil [7]

The two biggest reasons for children spending less time outside are the development of technology and the safety issues. The development of technology brought in our homes countless forms of having fun which is very important to children. The mobile phones, PC's, laptop's, tablets, Sony Play Station, as well as lots of technologically improved toys, made the children stay at home since they have the fun indoors, and not be interested in going outside and in nature. Also the safety issues in lots of parts in the world made the parents to restrict the children to the indoors environment.
