Figure 1-51
Four-helix bundle motif

The four-helix bundle motif can comprise an entire protein domain and occurs in proteins with many different biochemical functions. Shown here is human growth hormone, a signaling molecule; shown in Figure 1-28a is cytochrome b562, an electron-transport protein. In Figure 1-54 the protein myohemerythrin is shown; its function is oxygen transport.
