Popis: It has been shown that selective interactions between helical segments of macromolecules can be realized in globular proteins in the segments characterized by the same periodicities of charge distribution, i.e., conformationally stanch oligopeptides (CSOPs). It has been found that in the macromolecules of α-helical proteins, CSOPs are disposed at distances characteristic of direct interactions. For representatives of many structural families of α-type proteins, family-specific disposition of CSOPs is observed. The similar disposition of conformationally stanch segments is not related to amino acid sequence homology but reflects peculiarities of native 3D architectures of protein globules.
