A Protein Region with a Specific Function and Structure Is

Question

A protein region with a specific function and structure is called a
A) conserved site.
B) domain.
C) locale.
D) motif.

Accepted Answer

A domain is a distinct region of a protein that has a specific function and structural organization. Conserved sites are regions of a protein sequence that are found in similar proteins across different organisms, but they may not necessarily have a specific function or structure. A locale is a general term that refers to a particular location or region, but it does not specifically apply to protein structure or function. A motif is a short amino acid sequence that is found in multiple proteins, but it may not necessarily have a specific function or structure.
