    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…

    Structure of Antibodies

    The text provides an overview of the structure of antibodies. It explains that antibodies are a class of proteins produced by B-lymphocytes that specifically bind to antigens. The basic structure of antibodies consists of four polypeptide chains – two heavy chains and two light chains. The variable domains of the heavy and light chains form…
