Anatomical changes in neural circuits (such as growth or loss of synapses) seem to be responsible for forms of memory; intracellular changes (such as an increase or decrease in neurotransmitter vesicles) seem to be responsible for forms of memory

You have just sequenced a new protein found in mice and observe that sulfur-containing cysteine residues occur at regular intervals. what is the significance of this finding? it will be important to include cysteine in the diet of the mice. cysteine residues are required for the formation of α helices and β pleated sheets. cysteine residues are involved in disulfide bridges that form tertiary structure. cysteine causes bends, or angles, to occur in the tertiary structure of proteins.
