Protein is a water soluble nano-particle and has the biological functions. Some protein has the activity of self-assembly; that is this type of protein interact each other and organize a structure. These assembled proteins (super molecules) such as the bacterial flagella have another functions as a whole. We found that the randomness play an important role both for the intra-molecular organization of protein into a functional structure and for the inter-molecular organization of proteins into a functional assembled super-molecules. With this study most of the proteins are suggested to have an activity of the organization into a particular super molecule.
