(Research Problem) The Nature and Roles of Linear Motifs in Proteins In addition to domains and modules, there are other significant sequence patterns in proteinsâ€”known as linear motifsâ€”that are associated with a particular function. Consult the biochemical literature to answer the following questions:

1. What are linear motifs?

2. How are they different from domains?.

3. What are their functions?

4. How can they be characterized?

5. There are several papers that are good starting points for this problem.

Here is my literature Beta Carotene HPLC analysis graph. Can you help me explain what each peak is at each retention time? Thank You :D

I have a literature B-Carotene HPLC graph in which showcases a retention time of roughly 23.6 and 25.1. Please help me compare my two different Anti-Oxidant Juice graphs. (Attached) The juices provided are: V8 Carrot Ginger Blend and V8 Original Blend Noticing the HPLC graphs I saw no peaks for the Original Blend for B-Carotene. However the Carrot Ginger Blend showed similar peaks --> Why is this reason? Please explain in terms of Retention time and Area (Under Curve). Thank You!
