Proteins have four levels of structure: primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (local folding patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets), tertiary (overall 3D shape), and quaternary (assembly of ...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) do not attain a stable secondary or tertiary structure and rapidly change their ...

Initially it was a demand that seemed to ooze out of gyms — fitness and bodybuilding enthusiasts clamouring for more protein ...

Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. Moreover, each step in the flow of ...

Protein folding requires chaperones and often involves stepwise establishment of regular secondary and supersecondary structures, namely α-helices and β-sheets, that fold rapidly, stabilized by ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure ... translation of the genetic code into the correct amino acid sequence of the protein. tRNAs are highly ...
