Point group symmetry operations such as inversion and mirror plane are not applicable to protein crystals. This is becau
Analysis of point group symmetry operations such as inversion shows protein molecu les have handedness. represents established outcome. functional assays supports option B, whereas distractors confuse substrate or regulatory direction and fail to reproduce observed results.
