The helix-loop-helix (HLH) domain is a protein structural motif involved in DNA binding and protein dimerization. Commonly found in transcription factors, it consists of two alpha helices connected by a loop, enabling the formation of homo- or heterodimers essential for gene regulation and cellular processes. This is an MCQ on […]
GPCR, or G protein-coupled receptor, is a cell membrane protein that detects external signals and activates intracellular responses. It plays a crucial role in cell communication, mediating processes such as neurotransmission, immune response, and hormonal regulation in various physiological functions. This is an MCQ on G Protein-Coupled Receptors (GPCRs). | […]
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 amino acid residues, forming a complex, functional structure crucial for the protein’s biological activity. This is an MCQ on Tertiary Structure of Proteins. | Biochemistry […]
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. It contributes to the three-dimensional shape of the protein and influences its function. This is an MCQ on Secondary Structure of Proteins. | Biochemistry Notes […]
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 a complex structure. The quaternary structure is critical for the overall function and stability of certain proteins. This is an MCQ on Quaternary Structure of […]
