Protein Structures

Primary

sequence of amino acids linked by peptide linkages
Secondary

Regular patterns of twists and folds of amino acids along the peptide backbone
Motif
- supersecondary protien folding pattern
- beta-alpah-beta motif
- alpha-turn-alpah motif
Tertiary
- three-dimensional sahpe of protien molecule
- generated by bending and folding of the polypeptide chain
Quaternary

arrangemnt of discrete polypeptides (subunits) into a single functional unit
Domain

domains of proteins are functional subunits within a larger structure
Protien language
- amino acids- letters
- Motifs- words and phrases
- Domains- paragraphs
