Coiled coils are super helical structures involving two to more interacting α-helices from the same or different proteins.(a) True(b) FalseThe question was asked during an interview for a job.My question comes from Coiled Coil Prediction in section Secondary Structure Prediction of Bioinformatics

Answer»

Right answer is (a) True

To EXPLAIN: The individual α-helices twist and WIND around each other to form a coiled BUNDLE structure. The coiled coil conformation is important in facilitating inter- or intra protein interactions. Proteins possessing these STRUCTURAL domains are often involved in TRANSCRIPTION regulation or in the maintenance of cytoskeletal integrity.
