Protein Structure Determination An Introduction Chad A. Brautigam, Ph.D. Structural Biology Laboratory UTSW Medical Center at Dallas What is “Protein Structure?” …Arg-Lys-Ala-Gln-Trp-Cys-His-Ala-Asp… What is “Protein Structure?” • It is the description of the three- dimensional architecture of a polypeptide. • Our aim: to know accurately and precisely the position of every atom in a protein. That’s usually between 2000 and 10,000 atoms! Wherefore Art Thou, Protein
