Protein molecules can have various shapes, such as globular, fibrous, or membrane-bound. The shape of a protein is important for its function, with globular proteins often being enzymes or transport molecules, and fibrous proteins providing structural support. Additionally, the shape of a protein is determined by its specific sequence of amino acids.
A twisted ladder or helix is a shape that resembles a DNA molecule.
The three-dimensional shape of the DNA molecule is a double helix, which resembles a twisted ladder. This structure allows the molecule to have stability and store genetic information. The double helix is made up of two strands of nucleotides that are connected by hydrogen bonds.
shape, leading to activation of signaling cascades within the cell. This activation can lead to changes in cell behavior or gene expression.
A denatured protein or DNA molecule has lost its native structure. This can be due to factors such as heat, pH changes, or chemical agents, resulting in the disruption of the non-covalent bonds that maintain the molecule's shape and function.
A long chain of amino acids makes a protein molecule.
Actin is a globular molecule
The amino acid gives the protein it's 3-dimensional shape
The molecule influences the expression of a protein in several ways, most specifically in the design and shape of the molecule. It also provides specific ranges of information that can be utilized in the protein building process.

The C60 allotrope of carbon, also known as buckminsterfullerene, is named after the American architect and inventor Buckminster Fuller. He designed and popularized a geodesic dome structure that resembles the shape of the C60 molecule.
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.
