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.
Here's what I learned: Even though the practice of incorporating 13 folds did not begin because each fold had a specific meaning, specific meanings have subsequently come to be ascribed to each of the 13 folds. The American Flag is Folded 13 Times... The first fold of our flag is a symbol of life. The second fold is a symbol of our belief in eternal life. The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veterans departing our ranks who gave a portion of their lives for the defense of our country to attain peace throughout the world.
