Coiled coil
text:
A coiled coil is a structural motif in proteins in which 2–7 alpha-helices are coiled together like the strands of a rope. They have been found in roughly 5-10% of proteins and have a variety of functions. They are one of the most widespread motifs found in protein-protein interactions. To aid protein study, several tools have been developed to predict coiled-coils in protein structures. Many coiled coil-type proteins are involved in important biological functions, such as the regulation of gene
