Even though proteins are considered macromolecules ... long stretches of similar amino acid sequences within their primary structure. These stretches have been conserved through evolution and ...

Proteins are essential macromolecules that play a crucial role in virtually ... Proteins have four levels of structure: primary (amino acid sequence), secondary (local folding patterns like alpha ...

Proteins also receive signals from outside the cell and mobilize intracellular response. They are the workhorse macromolecules ... or as part of a multi-unit structure, and change shape frequently ...

there is no substitute for knowing the molecular details of that structure. Miller and other researchers agree that proteins--more than any other macromolecule--are the functional units of biological ...

Our research in the Laboratory of Structural Biology aims at understanding the structure and function of biological macromolecules and their complexes, such as those involved in cellular cargo ...
