Genomic and proteomic studies can reveal multi-dimensional aspects of biological model organisms. DNA sequencing and short tandem repeats are utilized to characterize organism’s phylogenetic relationships; another approach is to study their various proteins. Many genomic studies utilize extraction and amplification of nucleic acids to help make detection more straightforward. There is no proteomic procedure similar to PCR that would identify proteins at their naturally existing concentration, as well as the presence of many other proteins for comparative studies. Most methods for studying proteins revolve around running 1D, 2D, or 3D gels, and comparing and identifying similar proteins. . 2. Proteins. Proteins are polymers made of monomers called amino acids. All proteins are made of 20 different amino acids linked in different orders. Proteins are used to build cells, act as hormones & enzymes, and do much of the work in a cell. Dina N Kovarik, MS, PhD.

TRAISH) Introduction to Proteins - Proteins are abundant and functionally diverse molecules - They participate in cell regulation at all levels - They share a common structural Importance, Characteristics, Structure, Classification, . Denaturation. Importance. Major structural components of animal tissues. Involved in the maintenance of life processes as communication (nerves), defense (antibodies), metabolic regulation (hormones), biochemical catalysis (enzymes), and oxygen transport (hemoglobin). Levels of Protein Structure. Primary 1º Structure. The primary structure is simply the sequence of amino acids in a protein.. Chains of amino acids are written from the amino terminus (N-terminus) to the carboxyl terminus (C-terminus).. B.2. Properties of 2-amino acids . (B.2.2). Zwitterion.
