- Discuss phenomenon in terms of statistical distributions:
* Make note of how frequent a phenonmenon occurs. A particular
phenomenon could be important in terms of its effects, but rare.
* Make note of how frequent a phenomenon occurs. A particular
phenomenon could be important in terms of its effects, but rare. For
example, a [[disulfide bridge (SS bond)|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disulfide]]
between cysteine (Cys) amino acids is important for the stability of proteins,
but per analysis of a *H. sapiens* proteome DB in
[[Cysteines and Disulfide Bonds as Structure-Forming Units: Insights From Different Domains of Life and the Potential for Characterization by NMR|https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7191308/]],
Cys is found in 97% of proteins, but disulfide bonds are only marked in
18% of proteins, but there is also another effect of protein length that is
correlated with the presence of a disulfide bond. Further information on this:
