Document Summary

They are the implementers of many required cellular processes in the cell. The function of each protein is dictated by their structure and the structure of each protein is dictated by their primary sequence: the seque(cid:374)(cid:272)e of a(cid:373)i(cid:374)o a(cid:272)ids. He(cid:396)e i"(cid:448)e displa(cid:455)ed a f(cid:396)ag(cid:373)e(cid:374)t of the p(cid:396)i(cid:373)a(cid:396)(cid:455) st(cid:396)u(cid:272)tu(cid:396)e of the protein myoglobin. This primary structure contains a very unique blueprint of amino acids, which contain diverse side chains. These side chains have unique chemical properties which are involved in driving the folding of the protein into the 3-d structure we see here. So let"s sta(cid:396)t at the (cid:271)egi(cid:374)(cid:374)i(cid:374)g: the p(cid:396)i(cid:373)a(cid:396)(cid:455) st(cid:396)u(cid:272)tu(cid:396)e, (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h is just the se(cid:395)ue(cid:374)(cid:272)e of the a(cid:373)i(cid:374)o a(cid:272)ids i(cid:374) a polypeptide chain. The secondary structure starts to get into the folding bit and is driven primarily by the peptide backbone interactions. Remember that the peptide bond formed between 2 amino acids looks like this.
