Definition: A protein structural motif containing three disulfide bridges formed from pairs of cysteine residues. The sections of polypeptide that occur between two of them form a loop through which a third disulfide bond passes, resulting in a rotaxane substructure. This motif stabilizes protein structure and is conserved in proteins across various species.

We hope you enjoyed looking up some related words and definitions. We use various open machine learning and human sources to provide a more coherent reference that pure AI can provide. Although there are similar sites out there, they are filled with nonsense and gibberish due to their pure machine learning approach. Our dataset is in part derived from ConceptNet and WordNet with our own sprinkle of magic. We're always working on improving the data and adding more sources. Thanks for checking us out!
