What is 'Folding of polypeptide chain'?And what is its effect?
1 Answer
Polypeptide is a chain of amino acids. Long chain of amino acids fold
Explanation:
When connected together by a series of peptide bonds, amino acids form a polypeptide, another word for protein. ... Hydrogen bonding between amino groups and carboxyl groups in neighboring regions of the protein chain sometimes causes certain patterns of folding to occur.
The three dimensional structure of protein depends on the characteristic folding of polypeptide.
There are certain reacting groups of amino acids exposed after polypeptide folding.
If the three dimensional structure do not match then the function of the protein hampers.
