Descriptor Spanish:

Conformación Proteica

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	conformación de proteínas
Entry term(s)	conformación proteica conformación proteínica
Scope note:	Forma tridimensional característica de una proteína, incluye las estructuras secundaria, supersecundaria (motivos), terciaria (dominios) y cuaternaria de la cadena de péptidos. El término ESTRUCTURA PROTEICA CUATERNARIA describe la estructura asumida por las proteínas multiméricas (agregados de más de una cadena polipeptídica).

Tree number(s):

G02.111.570.820.709

RDF Unique Identifier:

https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011487

Scope note:

The characteristic 3-dimensional shape of a protein, including the secondary, supersecondary (motifs), tertiary (domains) and quaternary structure of the peptide chain. PROTEIN STRUCTURE, QUATERNARY describes the conformation assumed by multimeric proteins (aggregates of more than one polypeptide chain).
