examples of the monomers are glucose, vinyl chloride, amino acids, and ethylene. every monomer can link up to form a variety of polymers in different ways. for example, in glucose, glycosidic bonds that bind sugar monomers to form polymers such as glycogen, starch, and cellulose. q2 what ...
Monomers can be either natural or synthetic in nature. Natural monomers are amino acids and monosaccharides, and examples of synthetic monomers are vinyl chloride and styrene. What is a Polymer? A polymer is s substance consisting of large molecules that are composed of many repeating subunits or ...
Clustering of the signal parameters extracted from the experimental data. (a,b) Examples of clustering from the data set. There is a good distinction with the background obtained by frequency thresholding. (c) Scatter plot for all the individual measurements of 24 cells from the data set. The...
It is essential for controlling the body's function of organic compounds. Energy is generated when carbon molecules are broken down, which may then be used to power numerous biological operations. Nitrogen: Nitrogen forms the amine group in amino acids, which make important proteins. It also ...
At the left, HERV supergroups are shown with the first 13 amino acids of a representative ISD within parenthesis. HSERVIII have no known envelope proteins of their own, symbolized with a question mark. The occurrence of nucleotide bias (High T or A, or low g), predominant number of zinc...
After establishing the evolutionary scale, we aimed at an understanding which property of a scale has an impact on its separation capacity. At first, we tested whether the general order of amino acids with respect to their hydrophobicity value is important. We realized that it is not the overal...
The featureless interface formed by protein–protein interactions (PPIs) is notorious for being considered a difficult and poorly druggable target. However, recent advances have shown PPIs to be druggable, with the discovery of potent inhibitors and stab
there exist few examples of families in SCOP containing members with low sequence similarity to theglobinfamily where sequence identity between members could be as low as 15%. However, all members show the same overall structure and critical functional residues in topologically equi...
We here describe PRODISTIN, a new computational method allowing the functional clustering of proteins on the basis of protein-protein interaction data. This method, assessed biologically and statistically, enabled us to classify 11% of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae proteome into several groups, the major...
The overall three-dimensional form of the enzyme, which is the outcome of interactions between side chains of amino acids, is known as the tertiary structure. Catalysis and substrate binding depend on the active site, a particular area on the surface of the enzyme. The exact arrangement of ami...
