What is the primary structure of a protein?
Linear sequence of amino acids.
2
New cards
What is the secondary structure of a protein?
Local folding patterns like α-helices and β-sheets, stabilized by hydrogen bonds.
3
New cards
What is the tertiary structure of a protein?
Overall 3D folding of a single polypeptide chain.
4
New cards
What is the quaternary structure of a protein?
Assembly of multiple polypeptides into a functional unit.
5
New cards
What are intrinsically disordered proteins?
Proteins lacking stable structure, providing flexibility and multiple functions.
6
New cards
What are homologous proteins?
Proteins that evolved from a common ancestor, with similar sequence, structure, and function.
