    Cool statistics!

    Did you know that there are 444 proteins solved by X-ray diffraction that are also classified as ‘membrane proteins’?

    All the best,

    I didn’t know that, but I bet most of those are extracellular or intracellular domains.

    1s1i does not hold the longest aminoacid chain. Chain 3 is over 2.900 in length, but is an RNA chain in the 60S subunit of the S. cerevisiae ribosome.
