RE: Chemistry and Metabolism of Biomolecules #6: Chemistry of Proteins
Is it accurate to consider the secondary structure of proteins as a 2 dimensions model representation ? Am I missing something here ?
LOL the secondary structure is actually a 3D representation of a protein but the tertiary structure is a much more perfect representation.
No, it is not a 2D representation of protein. I personally feel the primary structure would pass for that but I haven’t seen that anywhere so I can’t particularly verify that :)
Okii got it :)
Primary structure is 1D (if you mean sequence info). And if you just consider a poly-peptide, its again 3D
That’s true. Makes a lot of sense that way.
