Section 1: Proteins and Motifs: Homework section I.
The secondary structure of proteins. Within the long protein chains there are regions in which the chains are organised into regular structures known as alpha-helices (alpha-helixes) and beta-pleated sheets. These are the secondary structures in proteins. These secondary structures are held together by hydrogen bonds. These form as shown in the diagram between one of the lone pairs on an.
After the amino acids form bonds (secondary structure) and shapes like helices and sheets, the structure can coil or fold at random. This is what we call the tertiary structure of proteins. If this structure is disrupted or disturbed a protein is said to be denatured which means it is chemically affected and its structure is distorted.
Protein structure can also be described by a level of organization that is distinct from the ones we have just discussed. This organizational unit is the protein “domain,” and the concept of domains is extremely important for understanding tertiary structure. A domain is a distinct region (sequence of amino acids) of a protein, while a structural domain is an independently-folded part of a.
As a member of the wwPDB, the RCSB PDB curates and annotates PDB data according to agreed upon standards. The RCSB PDB also provides a variety of tools and resources. Users can perform simple and advanced searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and function. These molecules are visualized, downloaded, and analyzed by users who range from students to specialized scientists.
