The key to understanding how different proteins function lies in an understanding of the molecular structure. The overall aim of this thesis was the determination of the structure of DWNN domains. This thesis described the preparation of samples of human DWNN suitable for structural analysis by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR), as well as NMR analysis.enProteinsAnalysisStructureAmino acid sequenceNuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopyExpression and purification of the novel protein domain DWNNThesisUniversity of the Western Cape
