Alpha chain

Index Alpha chain

The term alpha chain is normally used to indicate one of the subunits of a multi-subunit protein. [1]

8 relations: Alpha helix, Beta sheet, Biomolecular structure, Fibrinogen, Hemoglobin, alpha 1, Integrin, Peptide, T-cell receptor.

Alpha helix

The alpha helix (α-helix) is a common motif in the secondary structure of proteins and is a righthand-spiral conformation (i.e. helix) in which every backbone N−H group donates a hydrogen bond to the backbone C.

Beta sheet

The β-sheet (also β-pleated sheet) is a common motif of regular secondary structure in proteins.

Biomolecular structure

Biomolecular structure is the intricate folded, three-dimensional shape that is formed by a molecule of protein, DNA, or RNA, and that is important to its function.

Fibrinogen

Fibrinogen (factor I) is a glycoprotein that in vertebrates circulates in the blood.

Hemoglobin, alpha 1

Hemoglobin, alpha 1, also known as HBA1, is an hemoglobin protein that in humans is encoded by the HBA1 gene.

Integrin

Integrins are transmembrane receptors that facilitate cell-extracellular matrix (ECM) adhesion.

Peptide

Peptides (from Gr.: πεπτός, peptós "digested"; derived from πέσσειν, péssein "to digest") are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide (amide) bonds.

T-cell receptor

The T-cell receptor, or TCR, is a molecule found on the surface of T cells, or T lymphocytes, that is responsible for recognizing fragments of antigen as peptides bound to major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.
