Beta sheet
|
A secondary structure
|
|
|
Quaternary structure
|
multiple tertiary structures interacting
|
|
|
Primary structure
|
Actual sequence of amino acids
|
|
|

|
|
Motiff
|
Grouping of secondary and tertiary structures that make folds. you can find common motifs in many proteins. certain motifs perform common function is different proteins, ie bind to a certain molecule or ion.
|
|
|
Tertiary structure
|
Groups of secondary structures interacting with eachother to form a domain. this is the most complicated monomeric structur is able to make, after this the peptide bond must stop and you have to get multiple motiffs interacting.
|
|
|
Domain
|
a grouping of tertiary structures:
Functional" I cleave DNA" Structural "I am an arm" Topological"I extend into Cytoplasm" |
|
|
Alpha helix
|
A secondary structure
fromed when amino acid sequence forms hydrogen bonds between the carboxyl group and amine hydrogen. One revolution per 3.6 amino acids |
