Proteiinityyppiin

Proteiinityyppiin is a Finnish grammatical form rather than a standalone scientific term. It represents the illative (into/to) case of proteiinityyppi, a compound meaning “protein type.” In Finnish, the illative suffix -iin attaches to the base proteiinityyppi (protein type) to produce proteiinityyppiin, used when indicating movement toward or inclusion in a protein type within a sentence.

Formation and meaning. The base word proteiinityyppi combines proteiini (protein) and tyyppi (type). Adding the illative suffix -iin yields proteiinityyppiin. This form answers questions such as “into which type?” or “to which type?” and is employed in contexts where a statement concerns classification, categorization, or attribution to a specific protein type.

Usage. In Finnish scientific and technical writing, proteiinityyppiin may appear in phrases like “proteiiniluokitus keskittyy proteiinityyppiin” or “tutkimus kohdistuu proteiinityyppiin.” Such usage is typical when discussing how proteins are grouped into categories (for example, enzymatic vs. structural types) or when specifying the target of a classification system.

Relation to other forms. The nominative form is proteiinityyppi (“protein type”). Other forms include proteiinityypin (genitive) and related inflections used throughout Finnish grammar. As a grammatical form, proteiinityyppiin is primarily encountered in Finnish-language texts, particularly in technical or proteomics-related writing, rather than as an independent concept in cross-linguistic discussions.
