Descriptor English:

Protein Structure, Tertiary

Descriptor Spanish:

Estructura Terciaria de Proteína

Spanish from Spain

Descriptor	estructura terciaria de las proteínas
Entry term(s)	estructura proteica terciaria
Scope note:	Nivel de la estructura proteica en el que las estructuras secundarias (HÉLICES ALFA, LÁMINAS BETA, regiones en bucle y MOTIVOS DE AMINOÁCIDOS) se combinan en formas plegadas. Los puentes disulfuro entre cisteínas de dos partes diferentes de la cadena polipeptídica junto con otras interacciones entre cadenas desempeñan un papel en la formación y estabilización de la estructura terciaria.

Tree number(s):

G02.111.570.820.709.610

RDF Unique Identifier:

https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D017434

Scope note:

The level of protein structure in which combinations of secondary protein structures (ALPHA HELICES; BETA SHEETS; loop regions, and AMINO ACID MOTIFS) pack together to form folded shapes. Disulfide bridges between cysteines in two different parts of the polypeptide chain along with other interactions between the chains play a role in the formation and stabilization of tertiary structure.
