Proteins. Protein Gene Products . Proteins, Gene . Gene Proteins . Gene Products, Protein . GENE PRODUCTS . Linear POLYPEPTIDES that are synthesized on RIBOSOMES and may be further modified, crosslinked, cleaved, or assembled into complex proteins with several subunits. The specific sequence of AMINO ACIDS determines the shape the polypeptide will take, during PROTEIN FOLDING, and the function of the protein. . 1.00
Amino Acid Sequence. Amino Acid Sequences . Sequence, Amino Acid . Sequences, Amino Acid . Primary Protein Structure . Primary Protein Structures . Protein Structures, Primary . Structure, Primary Protein . Structures, Primary Protein . Protein Structure, Primary . The order of amino acids as they occur in a polypeptide chain. This is referred to as the primary structure of proteins. It is of fundamental importance in determining PROTEIN CONFORMATION. . 0.36
Peptides. Polypeptides . Members of the class of compounds composed of AMINO ACIDS joined together by peptide bonds between adjacent amino acids into linear, branched or cyclical structures. OLIGOPEPTIDES are composed of approximately 2-12 amino acids. Polypeptides are composed of approximately 13 or more amino acids. PROTEINS are linear polypeptides that are normally synthesized on RIBOSOMES. . 0.35
Gene Products, pol. Gene Product, pol . pol Polyprotein . Polyprotein, pol . Polyproteins, pol . Protein, pol . pol Gene Product . pol Gene Products . pol Polyproteins . pol Protein . Retroviral proteins coded by the pol gene. They are usually synthesized as a protein precursor (POLYPROTEINS) and later cleaved into final products that include reverse transcriptase, endonuclease/integrase, and viral protease. Sometimes they are synthesized as a gag-pol fusion protein (FUSION PROTEINS, GAG-POL). pol is short for polymerase, the enzyme class of reverse transcriptase. . 0.34
