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.
Answer:
there are 12 marbles. the probability of getting a yellow would be 2/12, the probability of drawing a red is 4/12, and the probability of getting a black is 3/12. (i think,, dont quote me if im wrong!)
:) have a nice day love ❤
Explanation:
Answer:
The correct answer is- adaptive radiation
Explanation:
Adaptive radiation is the evolutionary process which allow the evolution of many species from a single species because some population of that species get into an environment which is different from their old environment in terms of food availability, predators, etc.
So the first bird that evolved the ability to fly branched into many different species due to habitat change is an example of adaptive radiation. The most famous example of adaptive radiation is Darwinian finches which evolved from an ancestral species of south America that reached Galapagos island.
Is this a question? True or false?
<span>Archaebacteria is usually found in extreme environments and eubacteria is not found in environments. Also, eubacteria cell walls contain peptidoyclan. They are both prokaryotic cells.
Hope this helps!
