The Rossmann fold is a protein structural motif found in proteins that bind nucleotides, such as enzyme cofactors FAD, NAD, and NADP.The structure is composed of up to seven mostly parallel beta strands.The first two strands are connected by an Î±- helix. The structures of segments between additional strands vary greatly and may include structures such as short helical segments and coils.n 1989, Israel Hanukoglu from the Weizmann Institute of Science discovered that the consensus sequence for NADP binding site in some enzymes that utilize NADP differs from the NAD binding motif. This discovery was used to re-engineer coenzyme specificities of enzymes.
Fold mountains are created by uplift and folding of tectonic plates as they move towards each other and collide. This is known as a compressional plate margin. An example is the Andes Mountain range in South America().The plates may be either 'continental and continental' or 'continental and oceanic'. The plates move towards each other, but there isn't a free space for them to move into because they are already touching each other.t a destructive plate margin where oceanic and continental plates collide, the oceanic plate is subducted, pulled under the continental plate-whilst the continental plate is crumpled upwards to form a mountain range. The Andes are an example of fold mountains formed at a destructive plate margin.
