  2. Unfolded protein response - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfolded_protein_response

    The term protein folding incorporates all the processes involved in the production of a protein after the nascent polypeptides have become synthesized by the ribosomes.The proteins destined to be secreted or sorted to other cell organelles carry an N-terminal signal sequence that will interact with a signal recognition particle (SRP).

  3. Anisotropic Network Model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_Network_Model

    Anisotrpic Network Model use an elastic mass-and-spring network to represent biological macromolecule (Elastic Network Model)The Anisotropic Network Model (ANM) is a simple yet powerful tool made for normal mode analysis of proteins, which has been successfully applied for exploring the relation between function and dynamics for many proteins.

  4. Protein folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_folding

    Protein before and after folding Results of protein folding. Protein folding is the physical process by which a protein, after synthesis by a ribosome as a linear chain of amino acids, changes from an unstable random coil into a more ordered three-dimensional structure. This structure permits the protein to become biologically functional. [1]

  5. Protein metabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_metabolism

    Protein anabolism is the process by which proteins are formed from amino acids. It relies on five processes: amino acid synthesis, transcription , translation , post translational modifications , and protein folding .

  6. Protein misfolding cyclic amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_misfolding_cyclic...

    The growing chain of misfolded protein is then blasted with ultrasound, breaking it down into smaller chains and so rapidly increasing the amount of abnormal protein available to cause conversions. [1] [3] By repeating the cycle, the mass of normal protein is rapidly changed into the prion being tested for. [citation needed]

  7. Missense mutation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missense_mutation

    One of the nucleotides (adenine) is replaced by another nucleotide (cytosine) in the DNA sequence. This results in an incorrect amino acid (proline) being incorporated into the protein sequence. Missense mutation refers to a change in one amino acid in a protein, arising from a point mutation in a single nucleotide.

  8. Unnormalized form - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unnormalized_form

    In database normalization, unnormalized form (UNF or 0NF), also known as an unnormalized relation or non-first normal form (N1NF or NF 2), [1] is a database data model (organization of data in a database) which does not meet any of the conditions of database normalization defined by the relational model.

  9. Non-proteinogenic amino acids - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-proteinogenic_amino_acids

    Lysine. Technically, any organic compound with an amine (–NH 2) and a carboxylic acid (–COOH) functional group is an amino acid. The proteinogenic amino acids are a small subset of this group that possess a central carbon atom (α- or 2-) bearing an amino group, a carboxyl group, a side chain and an α-hydrogen levo conformation, with the exception of glycine, which is achiral, and proline ...
