Proteins are the end products of the decoding process that starts with the information in cellular DNA. As workhorses of the cell, proteins compose structural and motor elements in the cell, and they ...

Proteins are made of amino acid chains, or polypeptides. Amino acids have a basic backbone made of an amino group and a carboxyl group, and differ in their side-chains. These polypeptide chains of ...

The amino acid sequence of the pore-forming outer membrane protein I (porin) from Escherichia coli B/r has been determined. The polypeptide contains 340 amino acid residues resulting in a molecular ...

When French bean (Phaseolus vulgaris) plants were depodded in the early stages of fruit development, relative levels of a specific protein with a relative molecular weight of 28,000 were enhanced in ...

The structure of protein sets the foundation for its interaction with other molecules in the body and, therefore, determines its function. This article will cover the structural principles of proteins ...
