Protein structure is the biomolecular structure of a protein molecule. Proteins are polymers â specifically polypeptides â formed from sequences of monomer amino acids.
Proteins are chains of chemical building blocks called amino acids. A protein may contain a few amino acids or it could have several thousands. The size of a protein is an important physical characteristic that provides useful information including changes in conformation, aggregation state and denaturation.
