Sometimes the structure and function of a protein can be determined by the amino acids that compose it. Advanced software can hypothesize how a protein will fold according to its amino acid sequence and its function can often be inferred from that.

What is the four levels of proteins?
Proteins have primary structure, which is their amino acid sequence, secondary structure, which is either the alpha helix or the beta pleated sheet, tertiary structure, the protein's geometric shape, and quaternary structure, the arrangement of multiple protein subunits.
What proteins are in globular proteins?
There are two class of protein based on their structure namely fibrous and globular. Globular proteins form a globe like spherical structure in contrary to rod like fibrous proteins (collagen). They are soluble in water and the structure is rendered by its three dimensional arrangement of amino acids in solution. Most of the enzymes, soluble hormones and factors fall into this class of proteins.
What is the structure that produces proteins?
Prostate
What structure has two or more proteins aggregated together?
Quarternary structure.
What type of structure do proteins which act as enzymes possess?
quaternary structure
How can you describe proteins in humans?
Proteins are required for the structure, function, and regulation of the body's cells, tissues, and organs.
The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of what?
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
The fundamental structure of the plasma membrane is determined almost exclusively by?
Lipids, in the form of the bi-lipid layer.
What are all the disease proteins having no structure?
All proteins have structure.
What is the four levels of proteins?

Which 2 words are used to describe the structure of carbohydrates fats and proteins?
i don't have any idea. sorry to annoy you.

What determines the functional structure of a protein?
A protein's structure is determined by:- the amino acid sequences of its polypeptide chains;- hydrogen bonds between amino acids in polypeptides;- other bonds (e.g. hydrophobic interactions, disulphide bridges) between side chains in the polypeptides; and- the arrangement of polypeptides (in a protein that contains more than one polypeptide)Scientists have mapped the structures of several proteins; however, scientists are still unsure as to how proteins actually form their final structures.The function of a protein is directly related to its structure. For example, a protein that fights a certain bacteria might have a shape that allows it to bind to the bacteria and then destroy it.
What determines protein structure?
The primary structure of proteins is the sequence of amino acids. The sequence is determined by DNA and genetics. RNA copies the code from DNA and it takes it over to the ribosomes. Then the amino acids are sequenced based on the "instructions."
Do all proteins have quandary structure?
No. Proteins start out as a Primary structure, which is just the linear form and sequence of amino acids. The proteins then start forming alpha helices and/or Beta sheets depending on the properties of the amino acids. This is their Secondary structure The proteins then fold completely into tertiary structure. Here, we have a lot of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions within the protein between the helices and beta sheets. Many proteins are fully functional in their tertiary structure and don't have any reason for forming into a quaternary structure. In the quaternary structure, we usually see an interaction between 2 or more polypeptides or proteins. An example would be 2 proteins in their tertiary structure binding together to become a functional dimer. If 3 proteins were interacting it would form a trimer. Several proteins are functional only in a quaternary structure while several more proteins are just fine in their tertiary structure and therefore do not have a quaternary structure.
