Topic > Essay on Hierarchical Structure of Proteins - 626

Talk about the structure of proteins and go into detail about its structure emphasizing that its spatial arrangement is the key to understanding how proteins work. This information would be very relevant to students studying this topic or to people in biotechnology fields producing the next vaccine for some kind of disease. This information would be useful in aiding vaccine development because to create a vaccine through chemical synthesis, scientists must isolate a gene that codes for an antigen and then find the sequence of amino acids that make up that antigen. Once this is done, scientists can assemble one protein molecule chemically, creating a fully synthetic protein to help fight the virus
