N cap

Index N cap

The term N cap (N-cap, Ncap) describes an amino acid in a particular position within a protein or polypeptide. [1]

12 relations: Alpha helix, Amino acid, Asx motif, Asx turn, C cap, Hydrogen bond, N-terminus, Peptide, Protein, Serine, ST turn, Threonine.

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.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

C cap

The term C cap (C-cap, Ccap) describes an amino acid in a particular position within a protein or polypeptide.

Hydrogen bond

A hydrogen bond is a partially electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen (H) which is bound to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen (N), oxygen (O), or fluorine (F), and another adjacent atom bearing a lone pair of electrons.

N-terminus

The N-terminus (also known as the amino-terminus, NH2-terminus, N-terminal end or amine-terminus) is the start of a protein or polypeptide referring to the free amine group (-NH2) located at the end of a polypeptide.

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.

Protein

Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.

Serine

Serine (symbol Ser or S) is an ɑ-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

ST turn

The ST turn is a structural feature in proteins and polypeptides.

Threonine

Threonine (symbol Thr or T) is an amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.
