  2. Methyl methacrylate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methyl_methacrylate

    MMA is a raw material for the manufacture of other methacrylates. These derivatives include ethyl methacrylate (EMA), butyl methacrylate (BMA) and 2-ethyl hexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA). Methacrylic acid (MAA) is used as a chemical intermediate as well as in the manufacture of coating polymers, construction chemicals and textile applications.

  3. Protomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protomer

    Following this usage, a protomer consists of a least two different proteins chains. In current literature of structural biology, the term is commonly also applied to the smallest unit of homo-oligomers, avoiding the term "monomer". In chemistry, a so-called protomer is a molecule which displays tautomerism due to position of a proton. [2] [3]

  4. Single-domain antibody - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-domain_antibody

    A single-domain antibody is a peptide chain of about 110 amino acids long, comprising one variable domain (V H) of a heavy-chain antibody, or of a common IgG.These peptides have similar affinity to antigens as whole antibodies, but are more heat-resistant and stable towards detergents and high concentrations of urea.

  5. Protein production - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_production

    Central dogma depicting transcription from DNA code to RNA code to the proteins in the second step covering the production of protein. Protein production is the biotechnological process of generating a specific protein. It is typically achieved by the manipulation of gene expression in an organism such that it expresses large amounts of a ...

  6. Protein structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_structure

    Protein structure is the three-dimensional arrangement of atoms in an amino acid-chain molecule. Proteins are polymers – specifically polypeptides – formed from sequences of amino acids, which are the monomers of the polymer. A single amino acid monomer may also be called a residue, which indicates a

  7. Monomer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monomer

    A monomer (/ ˈ m ɒ n ə m ər / MON-ə-mər; mono-, "one" + -mer, "part") is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization.

  8. Protein dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_dimer

    In biochemistry, a protein dimer is a macromolecular complex or multimer formed by two protein monomers, or single proteins, which are usually non-covalently bound. Many macromolecules, such as proteins or nucleic acids, form dimers. The word dimer has roots meaning "two parts", di-+ -mer. A protein dimer is a type of protein quaternary structure.

  9. Biomolecular structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomolecular_structure

    The primary structure of a biopolymer is the exact specification of its atomic composition and the chemical bonds connecting those atoms (including stereochemistry).For a typical unbranched, un-crosslinked biopolymer (such as a molecule of a typical intracellular protein, or of DNA or RNA), the primary structure is equivalent to specifying the sequence of its monomeric subunits, such as amino ...
