Protein Conformation:

Terms Related to Protein Conformation

• Quaternary Protein Structure

  The characteristic 3-dimensional shape and arrangement of multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain).

• Tertiary Protein Structure

  The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (alpha helices, beta sheets, loop regions, and motifs) pack together to form folded ...

• beta-Strand Protein Conformation

  The level of protein structure in which regular hydrogen-bond interactions within contiguous stretches of polypeptide chain give rise to alpha helices, beta strands (which align ...
