Detailed explanation-1: -The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by techniques such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Scientists who determine the structure of a proteins deposit their data into a database such as Protein Data Bank (PDB).
Detailed explanation-2: -Proteins need a 3-dimensional structure because they act as enzymes and building blocks for cells. Proteins serve an important function as the structural units of cells. Just like bricks have a specific shape to provide structure to our homes, proteins have a specific shape to provide structure for cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -PyMol is an open source, three dimensional visualization tool to view the macromolecular structures like proteins and nucleic acids.
Detailed explanation-4: -The overall three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide is called its tertiary structure. The tertiary structure is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.
