Why do some x-ray crystallographic protein structures omit some amino acids?

∙ 13y ago
In order to solve the structure of a protein by x-ray crystallography, a biochemist must first find the conditions in which the protein is able to be crystallized. Some proteins have natively unstructured regions ("floppy parts") that make the protein unable to be crystallized. Many times, the protein will be recombinantly expressed without these unstructured regions, and the positions of these residues will not be found. Other times, the positions will not be found because there are too many alternate positions in the crystal and the locations of the residues will not be found in the electron density.

Monomer of proteins?
Amino acids.
How is melamine related to amino acids or protein?
Melamine is a protein, which is made of amino acids.
What are the small units in protein called?
Amino acids
What is a protein building block other then amino acids?
Amino acids are the only building blocks for protein.
What repeating units make up a protein fatty acids peptide acids amino acids carboxylic acids?
They are the amino acids. They are the monomers
What is the connection between amino acids and protein?
Amino acids are the basic structures of protein. Each type of protein depends on the arrangement of the amino acids. One inconsequential change can completely change the type of protein it is.
What influences protein shape that determines protein function?
Amino acid sequence primarily determines a proteins shape, but secondary (alpha helix and beta sheet) and tertiary structures (Hydrogen bonding, other chemical bonding between structures) adds to it.
What is a protein monomer?
amino acids are the monomers for protein
Subunit of Protein?
Amino acids
What is a protein made of?
A protein molecule is a long chain of amino acids. There are 22 different amino acids and their chemical properties determine the shape of the protein which determines the function of the protein.
Monomer of proteins?
Amino acids.
What are the amino acids you created in your protein chain?
They are Protein Sub-Unit amino acids.
How is melamine related to amino acids or protein?
Melamine is a protein, which is made of amino acids.
Why are amino acids call the building blocks of protein?
because protein are formed from amino acids
The order of amino acids is a protein's?
The order of amino acids in a protein determines its structure and function.
What monomer makes up enzyme?
amino acids make proteins and an enzyme is a protein so......
Proteins in cells are assembled by structures called?
Ribosomes assemble amino acids into proteins.
