What is the major driving force that works in favor of tertiary protein structure formation (protein folding) and when does it occur (what are the conditions)?
Gene Interactions
When the expression of a single trait is influenced by two or more different non-allelic genes, it is termed as genetic interaction. According to Mendel's law of inheritance, each gene functions in its own way and does not depend on the function of another gene, i.e., a single gene controls each of seven characteristics considered, but the complex contribution of many different genes determine many traits of an organism.
Gene Expression
Gene expression is a process by which the instructions present in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) are converted into useful molecules such as proteins, and functional messenger ribonucleic (mRNA) molecules in the case of non-protein-coding genes.
What is the major driving force that works in favor of tertiary protein structure formation (protein folding) and when does it occur (what are the conditions)?
Proteins are the complex macro molecules that show four levels of structural organisation. They are primary structure that consists of linear sequence of amino acids, secondary structure that consists of alpha helices and beta sheets . Tertiary structure of protein is stabilised by hydrophobic and disulphide bonds and other weak interactions that are formed by further folding of secondary protein structure.
