Folded proteins are stabilized by thousands of noncovalent bonds between amino acids. In addition, chemical forces between a protein and its immediate environment contribute to protein shape and ...

A collaborative effort has shed valuable light on how monoamine neurotransmitters such as serotonin, dopamine, and now histamine help regulate brain physiology and behavior through chemical bonding of ...

An error in protein conformation can lead to disease. What are the genetic and molecular causes for incorrectly formed proteins? molecules. In 1917 the German chemist ...

However the protein chains are arranged, they are held in these shapes by intermolecular bonding between the side chains of the amino acids involved. During cooking, when the proteins are heated ...

DOI: 10.1038/s44318-024-00132-2 By studying mutations in yeast and human cells, Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have found that biochemical bonds between fats and proteins in the ...

After translation, the polypeptide is finally folded into the correct shape and becomes a protein. Peptide bonds form between the adjacent amino acids to finalise the structure.
