Proteins
We generally tend to think of proteins only from a dietary lens, as a component of what we eat. However, they are among the most important and abundant organic macromolecules in the human body, with diverse structures and functions. Every cell contains thousands and thousands of proteins, each with specific functions. Some help in the formation of cellular membrane or walls, some help the cell to move, others act as messages or signals and flow seamlessly from one cell to another, carrying information.
Protein Expression
The method by which living organisms synthesize proteins and further modify and regulate them is called protein expression. Protein expression plays a significant role in several types of research and is highly utilized in molecular biology, biochemistry, and protein research laboratories.
The amino acid that accounts for disulfide bonds in the tertiary
structure of proteins is
a. tyrosine
b. glycine
c. cysteine
d. serine
The tertiary structure of the protein is the 3D structure of the protein in which one or more secondary structures are present in a single polypeptide chain backbone. It is the most important structure of the protein as the function of a protein depends on this. When this structure gets disrupted the protein is then said to be denatured.
