A helix refers to a proteins?
primary secondary
What are helix proteins?
There are no known proteins such as helix proteins. Alpha helix is a secondary structure element found in proteins that formed by amino acids which can form helix. Other secondary structures are beta sheets and random coils.
Where is Helix located?
In the DNA. The term "double helix" refers to the structure of DNA.
Where is double helix located?
In the DNA. The term "double helix" refers to the structure of DNA.
Is collagen a secondary or tertiary structure?
With most proteins, it has a secondary and tertiary structure.
Does a helix refer to a protein's tertiary structure?
All of them. Tertiary is the overall 3D shape of the protein Quaternary is what proteins it is attached to and how Primary is the actual order of the amino-acids which make up the chain Secondary is the way that that chain coils or folds So 'helix' refers to the coiling of the chain. Hence it is the secondary structure.
What kind of special structure does DNA have?
A double helix, a twisted ladder of diffrent proteins and chemicals.
What level of protein structure does a a-helix?
Some parts of a protein can have a helical structure - one of the most common secondary structures in proteins is the alpha helix.However, helix - especially double helix - will probably be more often used in the description of DNA, so be careful not to mistake the two.
What is proteins subuit?
Proteins are produced as polymer of amino acid chains. They gain secondary structure elements such as alpha helix, beta sheet during folding and for their three dimensional structure. Some proteins such as Hemoglobin make quaternary structure where they form the final structure with four different subunits of two different proteins interacting each other.
What is a helical protein?
"Helical" refers to its structure -- a helix (a spiral). See the related link below for an image.
What can form a structure such as a helix or a sheet?
A polypeptide chain, which is the primary structure of a protein, can fold into secondary structures such as an alpha-helix or a beta-sheet.
What structure is represented by the third image in the above series?
The third image in the series represents a helix structure. This structure is characterized by a spiral form that is often seen in DNA molecules and certain proteins.
