Protein is a kind of very complex nitrogen-containing macromolecular compound, and its basic component is amino acid. 1. the basic unit of protein amino acids There are 20 kinds of amino acids that make up proteins, 19 of which can be represented by a general formula. The other is pro...

Modern adaptations ofmass spectrometryprovide an important alternative to the sequencing methods described above.Mass spectrometrycan provide a highly accurate measure of the molecular weight of a protein, but can also do much more. In particular, some variants of mass spectrometry can provide the sequ...

6.2 Functional structure of a gene The vast majority of living organisms encode their genes in long strands of DN A. DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) consists of a chain made from four types of nucleotide subunits[2],each composed of: a five-carbon sugar[3] (2'-deoxyribose[4), a phosphate(3]...
To some extent, functional information can be derived from structural similarity. For some structural families, their function is highly conserved, whereas, for others, it can only be inherited or derived on the basis of additional information (e.g. sequence patterns, common residue clusters and ...
Describe the structure, function, and properties of enzymes. Discuss the functions that proteins have. What determines protein function? Enzymes are proteins. Define a protein and explain how the tertiary structure of a protein determines the protein's overall shape and function. ...
These include the use of protein-protein interaction patterns, and correlations between occurrences of related proteins in different organisms, as indicators of functional properties, Even if it is possible to ascribe a particular function to a gene product, the protein may have multiple functions. ...
