Summary Introduction

To determine:

The significance of a protein's shape and the reasons for the destruction of that protein's shape.

Introduction:

Proteins play a vital role for all living organisms because most of the functions in a cell take place with the help of proteins. All the cell activities in an organism are controlled by protein. Proteins are made up of polymers of amino acids that consist of particular shape or conformation. There are 20 amino acids are joined through peptide bonds to form a protein.

Based on the unique three-dimensional structure, proteins are classified into four levels: primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure.
