About: Nest (protein structural motif)

An Entity of Type: protein, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Nest is a type of protein structural motif. It is a small recurring anion-binding feature of both proteins and peptides. Each consists of the main chain atoms of three consecutive amino acid residues. The main chain NH groups bind the anions while the side chain atoms are often not involved. Proline residues lack NH groups so are rare in nests. About one in 12 of amino acid residues in proteins, on average, belongs to a nest.
