Proteins have four levels of structure: primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (local folding patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets), tertiary (overall 3D shape), and quaternary (assembly of ...

Recent advances in automated protein design algorithms are leading ... being explored is to use parametric representations of secondary structure elements and folds to systematically drive ...

The information required for a protein to fold to its native structure ... Figure 5: Relationship between secondary-structure content of the denatured state and folding rate.

The sequence of amino acids in the chain determines how the chain will fold up to make the protein, so different proteins have different three-dimensional shapes. The three-dimensional shape of a ...

Non-Watson-Crick base pairs can play important roles in RNA secondary structure, protein-nucleic acid interactions, and genetic recoding events. The Role of Base Pairs in Genetics Base pairs play a ...
