When protein folding is simplified to protein coiling: the continuum of solenoid protein structures

B Kobe et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 2000 Oct.

Abstract

Solenoid proteins contain repeating structural units that form a continuous superhelix. This category of proteins conveys the least complicated relationship between a sequence and the corresponding three-dimensional structure. Although solenoid proteins are divided into different classes according to commonly used classification schemes, they share many structural and functional properties.
