Protomics Session 2 protein structure2的蛋白质结构蛋白质组学会议.pptVIP

Outline Proteins are built from a repertoire of 20 amino acids 1. Primary Structure: Amino acids are linked by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains 2. Secondary Structure: a helix, b sheet, and turns and Loops 3. Tertiary Structure: Folding of proteins 4. Quaternary Structure: Multi-subunit Structures The Amino Acid Sequence of a Protein Determines Its Three-Dimensional Structure Levels of structure in proteins Key Properties of proteins 1. Proteins are linear polymers built of monomer units called amino acids. The function of a protein depends on its 3D structure (Fig 3.1). 2.
