Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers — specifically polypeptides — formed from sequences of amino acids, the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue (chemistry) indicating a repeating unit of a polymer. Proteins form by amino acids undergoing condensation reactions, in which the amino acids lose one water molecule per reaction in order to attach to one another with a peptide bond. By convention, a chain under 30 amino acids is often identified as a peptide, rather than a protein.[1] To be able to perform their biological function, proteins fold into one or more specific spatial conformations driven by a number of non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions, Van der Waals forces, and hydrophobic packing. To understand the functions of proteins at a molecular level, it is often necessary to determine their three-dimensional structure. This is the topic of the scientific field of structural biology, which employs techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and dual polarisation interferometry to determine the structure of proteins.
Protein structures range in size from tens to several thousand amino acids.[2] By physical size, proteins are classified as nanoparticles, between 1–100 nm. Very large aggregates can be formed from protein subunits. For example, many thousands of actin molecules assemble into a microfilament.
A protein may undergo reversible structural changes in performing its biological function. The alternative structures of the same protein are referred to as different conformational isomers, or simply, conformations, and transitions between them are called conformational changes.
Adenine goes with Thymine and Cytosine goes with Guanine
Answer:
Chromatin is responsible for gene expression.
Explanation:
Chromatin is responsible for gene expression because chromatin contains DNA that has all information about genes. chromatin controls the gene in order to form encoded products. DNA in chromatin send information to the RNA to produce specific types of proteins that are needed by the organisms for its growth and development so in that way the genes can be expressed in the organism.
Answer and Explanation:
A couple of hours after the death of an individual or creature, the joints of the body solidify and become secured. This solidifying is called rigor mortis.
Contingent upon body temperature and different conditions, rigor mortis endures roughly 72 hours.
The partial contraction of the skeletal muscles leads to the occurrence of this phenomena.
Once you have stopped for a school bus, do not pass until the driver signals you to proceed, the red lights stop flashing, or the bus starts moving ahead. Whenever a vehicle ahead of you stops to let a pedestrian pass in front of you, you should stay in line and until the vehicle ahead proceeds.
