Cyclic AMP (cAMP) is a signaling molecule involved in intracellular communication. It is derived from adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and functions as a second messenger, activating […]
Guanosine Triphosphate (GTP) is a nucleotide involved in cellular energy transfer and signal transduction. Similar to ATP, it serves as a high-energy molecule, contributing to […]
Tertiary structure refers to the overall three-dimensional arrangement of a single polypeptide chain in a protein. It results from the folding and interactions between distant […]
The secondary structure of a protein involves local folding patterns, primarily α-helices and β-sheets, stabilized by hydrogen bonds between amino acids in the polypeptide chain. […]
Quaternary structure refers to the arrangement of multiple polypeptide subunits in a functional protein. It results from the interaction and assembly of individual subunits, forming […]
The primary structure of proteins refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. It is determined by the specific order of […]
Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a family of cellular proteins that help cells respond to stress, such as high temperatures or other environmental challenges. They […]
Sphingolipids are a class of lipids characterized by a sphingoid base backbone. Found in cell membranes, they play roles in signal transduction and structural integrity. […]
