(Research Problem) The Nature and Roles of Linear Motifs in Proteins In addition to domains and modules, there are other significant sequence patterns in proteins—known as linear motifs—that are associated with a particular function. Consult the biochemical literature to answer the following questions: 1. What are linear motifs? 2. How are they different from domains?. 3. What are their functions? 4. How can they be characterized? 5. There are several papers that are good starting points for this problem. Neduva, V., and Russell, R., 2005. Linear motifs: evolutionary interaction switches.

To fully appreciate the elements of secondary structure in proteins, it is useful to have a practical sense of their structures. On a piece of paper, draw a simple but large zigzag pattern to represent a -strand. Then fill in the structure, drawing the locations of the moms of the chain on this zigzag pattern. Then draw a simple, large coil on a piece of paper to represent an -helix. Then fill in the structure, drawing the backbone atoms in the correction locations along the coil and indicating the locations of the R groups in your drawing.arrow_forward
