Not exact matches

When strung together in a sequence, amino acids create peptides and proteins with different 3D structures and, consequently, different biological functions.

Naturally occurring peptides can be composed of 20 different amino acids, so there is a great deal of possible variation in their sequences.

Amino acids come in 20 different varieties; proteins typically contain between 100 and a few thousand linked in different sequences.

«What's critical with this and what has never been done before is that a single peptide sequence will work against the toxic versions of a number of different amyloid proteins and peptides, regardless of their amino acid sequence or the normal 3 - D structures.»

When they compared the amino acid sequence of naked mole rat protein, the researchers found that three of these protein building blocks were different from the rat version and one was also different from the same protein in other mole rats.

Prions can exist as distinct strains — proteins that have the same sequence of amino acids but misfold in different ways and have distinct biological behaviours, much as different strains of a pathogenic virus can be aggressive or weak.

For dog - related rabies, host jumping was linked to multiple evolutionary patterns, such as parallel changes in amino acid sequences between different host species.

«For dog - related rabies, host jumping was linked to multiple evolutionary patterns, such as parallel changes in amino acid sequences between different host species, suggesting that dog - related rabies may not need to evolve much to jump to new carnivore hosts.»

Analysis of the DNA and encoded amino acid sequences of A14 and B9 revealed that the first two are clonal variants which aligned most closely to the germ line denoted VHH Vg (T Verrips, unpublished data) and that the sequence of B21 is highly divergent from both and also aligns to a different germ line V gene sequence Vu.

Although this intriguing possibility remains theoretical, the similarities in the amino acid sequences of NGF and insulin are not great enough to result in any similarity of function: the two molecules have completely different target cells and biological activities.

protein: A molecule made up of a sequence of amino acids (there are 23 different amino acids).

Dazl homologs contain slightly different consensus sequences for both RNP2 (VFVGGI) and RNP1 (KGYGFVSF), have distinct sequences surrounding the RNPs, and have a conserved deletion of two amino acids (Figure S2)[35].

Protein the building blocks of cells — each protein molecule is composed of its own unique sequence of amino acids (there are 20 different kinds of amino acids in the human body).

The particular sequence of amino acids in the chain is what makes one protein different from another.
