Protein Structure
The structure of proteins is the amino acid composition and three-dimensional conformation of proteins. It describes the relative position of individual atoms that compose a given protein.
Proteins are macromolecules of the cell, they constitute the “toolbox”, allowing it to digest its food, its energy, manufacturing its constituents, move. They consist of a linear sequence of amino acids linked by peptide bonds. This sequence has a three-dimensional organization (or folding) of its own. Sequence in the folding.
