Each protein or peptide consists of a linear sequence of amino acids. The protein primary structure conventionally begins at the amino-terminal (N) end and continues until the carboxyl-terminal (C) ...

Protein folding is a process by which a polypeptide chain folds to become a biologically active protein in its native 3D structure. Protein structure is crucial to its function. Folded proteins are ...

The enormous progress over the past decade in analytical techniques to study large macromolecules has revealed a much greater diversity in protein primary structure than predicted based on the use of ...
