To accomplish their functions, proteins have to achieve different conformations accompanied by conformational transitions. However, the relationship between the preference of amino acids and the stability of the secon...
The 3-D structure of the β-adrenergic receptor with a molecular weight of 55,000 daltons is available from crystallographic data. Within one of the seven transmembrane ion channel helices in the β2-receptor, one loo...
Alpha helix is a common type of secondary structure in the protein structure that consists of repeating helical turns. Patterns in the protein sequences that cause this repetitive pattern in the structure have long be...
