* Each of the 4 chains that form hemoglobin (a tetramer) folds into a single domain. | * [[2hhd]]: Each of the 4 chains that form hemoglobin (a tetramer) folds into a single domain composed of alpha-helices. Each domain (chain) is 141-146 amino acids in length for human hemoglobin. | ||
* [[1igy]]: Immunoglobulin G (antibody) consists of 12 domains in 4 chains. These domains are composed of beta-sheets. Each of the two heavy chains has 4 domains, and each of the 2 light chains has 2 domains. These domains are about 110 amino acids in length. Each heavy chain has two pairs of domains connected by a flexible linker about 20 amino acids in length. | |||
