Aspartate carbamoyltransferase

Aspartate carbamoyltransferase (also known as aspartate transcarbamoylase or ATCase) catalyzes the first step in the pyrimidine biosynthetic pathway.

See Protomer and Aspartate carbamoyltransferase

Capsid

A capsid is the protein shell of a virus, enclosing its genetic material.

See Protomer and Capsid

Chemistry

Chemistry is the scientific study of the properties and behavior of matter.

See Protomer and Chemistry

Cyclic group

In abstract algebra, a cyclic group or monogenous group is a group, denoted Cn (also frequently \Zn or Zn, not to be confused with the commutative ring of p-adic numbers), that is generated by a single element.

See Protomer and Cyclic group

Dimerization (chemistry)

In chemistry, dimerization is the process of joining two identical or similar molecular entities by bonds.

See Protomer and Dimerization (chemistry)

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts by accelerating chemical reactions.

See Protomer and Enzyme

Hemoglobin

Hemoglobin (haemoglobin, Hb or Hgb) is a protein containing iron that facilitates the transport of oxygen in red blood cells.

See Protomer and Hemoglobin

HIV-1 protease

HIV-1 protease or PR is a retroviral aspartyl protease (retropepsin), an enzyme involved with peptide bond hydrolysis in retroviruses, that is essential for the life-cycle of HIV, the retrovirus that causes AIDS.

See Protomer and HIV-1 protease

Monomer

A monomer (mono-, "one" + -mer, "part") is a molecule that can react together with other monomer molecules to form a larger polymer chain or three-dimensional network in a process called polymerization.

See Protomer and Monomer

Point group

In geometry, a point group is a mathematical group of symmetry operations (isometries in a Euclidean space) that have a fixed point in common.

See Protomer and Point group

Protein dimer

In biochemistry, a protein dimer is a macromolecular complex or multimer formed by two protein monomers, or single proteins, which are usually non-covalently bound.

See Protomer and Protein dimer

Protein quaternary structure

Protein quaternary structure is the fourth (and highest) classification level of protein structure.

See Protomer and Protein quaternary structure

Proteolipid

A proteolipid is a protein covalently linked to lipid molecules, which can be fatty acids, isoprenoids or sterols.

See Protomer and Proteolipid

Sodium–potassium pump

The sodium–potassium pump (sodium–potassium adenosine triphosphatase, also known as -ATPase, pump, or sodium–potassium ATPase) is an enzyme (an electrogenic transmembrane ATPase) found in the membrane of all animal cells.

See Protomer and Sodium–potassium pump

Structural biology

Structural biology, as defined by the Journal of Structural Biology, deals with structural analysis of living material (formed, composed of, and/or maintained and refined by living cells) at every level of organization.

See Protomer and Structural biology

Symmetry

Symmetry in everyday life refers to a sense of harmonious and beautiful proportion and balance.

See Protomer and Symmetry

Tautomer

Tautomers are structural isomers (constitutional isomers) of chemical compounds that readily interconvert.

See Protomer and Tautomer

Tetrameric protein

A tetrameric protein is a protein with a quaternary structure of four subunits (tetrameric).

See Protomer and Tetrameric protein

Tyrosine

-Tyrosine or tyrosine (symbol Tyr or Y) or 4-hydroxyphenylalanine is one of the 20 standard amino acids that are used by cells to synthesize proteins.

See Protomer and Tyrosine

4-Aminobenzoic acid

4-Aminobenzoic acid (also known as para-aminobenzoic acid or PABA because the two functional groups are attached to the benzene ring across from one another in the para position) is an organic compound with the formula H2NC6H4CO2H.

See Protomer and 4-Aminobenzoic acid
