Structure of Protein
Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in many biological processes. They are made up of amino acids, which are linked together through peptide bonds to form a linear chain. The sequence of amino acids in a protein determines its three-dimensional structure and, consequently, its function. In this study note, we will explore…

Post translational processingÂ
Post-translational processing refers to the series of modifications that occur to a protein after it has been synthesized by the ribosome. These modifications can include folding, cleavage, phosphorylation, acetylation, glycosylation, ubiquitination, and methylation. Each modification is mediated by a specific enzyme and can have a significant impact on the stability, activity, and localization of the…
