Proteins have a building blocks as amino acids and I think there are about 20 essential amino acids in humans. The structure depends on the series and sequence of the polypeptides arranged which are joined together by covalent bonds and ultimately form a protein. You will know more about it when you take bio or chemistry classes in your school or college respectively.

∙ 12y agoproteins have many shapes but the principal that was proved by the College of The Canyons University which is a triple helix, this protein doesnt have a nucleus and doent have a axon between dentrites and cell body that's why is a double helix.

∙ 6y agoProteins are "folded" molecules there is not one shape, each protein is different.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A protein has a primary structure which folds into a secondary structure (alpha helix or B-sheet) and then has a tertiary structure (its 3D fold). Many proteins can complex together to create a quaternary structure.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Depending on the type of protein and the environment that the protein is in determines its "shape". The hydrophobic effect plays a huge role in this. Membrane proteins are in a hydrophobic environment, and cytosolic proteins are in a hydrophilic environment.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you are referring to an amino acid which is a polypeptide monomer, then amino acids have a tetrahedral shape around the alpha carbon.

What protein changes shape when ca2 plus binds to it?
The protein that changes shape when calcium ion (Ca2+) binds to it, is the troponin. It is a regulatory protein that is a component of the thin filament.
When a signal molecule binds to a receptor protein the receptor protein may change the?
shape.
Does the Specific Shape Of A Protein Determines Its Function?
Yes! The structure of the protein is basically its shape and is one of the major things which determine how it can interact with other proteins.

How does the interaction between the carrier proteins and the substances transports resemble the interaction between and enzyme and its substrate?
Both involve the binding of a specific substance to a particular kind of protein and a change in shape of the protein as the process (transport or chemical reaction) proceeds. After the process is completed, the protein is unchanged.
