proteinkæde
A proteinkæde is a linear sequence of amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds, forming the fundamental structural unit of proteins. Each residue in the chain consists of a central α‑carbon bound to a carboxyl group, an amino group, a hydrogen atom, and a variable side chain (R group) that determines the residue’s chemical properties. Peptide bonds are formed through dehydration synthesis between the amino group of one residue and the carboxyl group of the next, resulting in the formation of an amide group.
The primary structure of a proteinkæde is the unique order of its amino acids, which is dictated
Protein function is intrinsically linked to its structure. Proteinkæder act as enzymes, structural components, transporters, signaling
Research on proteinkæder spans fields from molecular biology and genetics to drug design, making their study
