What is the sequence of amino acids in protein?

0

You need to rephrase your question to be more specific. What would you like to know about it? The sequence of amino acids is literally what it sounds like: it refers to in what order amino acids come in a particular protein. This sequence is known as a protein’s primary structure. As side info, folding of the amino acid chain into ordered structures is called secondary structure, arrangement of these secondary structures into functional units called domains is called tertiary structure, and aggregation of multiple polypeptides together into large proteins is called quaternary structure. The primary structure of a protein determines nearly all its characteristics, including its 3D structure. We even have computer programs that, given nothing but the sequence of amino acids in a protein, can show us what its 3D structure is likely to look like. This comes from the fact that some amino acids like to stick together, while others repel each other. Imagine a string with little beads all alon
