Protein Domains
- larger proteins have regions which are
joined by unstructured polypeptide. there is
evidence which suggests these regions can
exist seprately and they are called domains.
- a domain has to be self contained
- different partial activities
- fatty acid synthase
- several polypeptides in
bacteria but only one in
mammals
- Domain Shuffling
- evolution by the shuffling of
protein domains
- domains are sometimes
coded by seperate exons.
- allows rapid evolution
