They also take part in transport, storage, membranes, toxins, and enzymes. All proteins are polymers of amino acids arranged in a linea...

Eiwitten zijn polymeren van aminozuren die via peptidebindingen met elkaar zijn verbonden. De meeste eiwitten vouwen zich in specifieke driedimensionale structuren om hun functie uit te voeren. De eiwitstructuur is ingedeeld in vier categorieën:primair, secundair, tertiair en quartair.
De lineaire opeenvolging van aminozuren in het eiwit i...
