Proteins are ... within their primary structure. These stretches have been conserved through evolution and are vital to the catalytic function of the protein. For example, cell receptor proteins ...

Protein folding is the process by which proteins achieve their mature functional (native) tertiary structure, and often begins co-translationally. Protein folding requires chaperones and often ...

tRNAs have a distinct cloverleaf secondary structure and an L-shaped tertiary structure ... translation of the genetic code into the correct amino acid sequence of the protein. tRNAs are highly ...
