Proteins are composed of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds to form polypeptide chains that fold into complex 3D shapes. There are four levels of protein structure - primary, secondary, tertiary, and sometimes quaternary. The primary structure is the specific sequence of amino acids in the chain. Secondary structures include alpha helices and beta pleated sheets formed by hydrogen bonding. Tertiary structure describes the overall 3D shape formed by interactions between R groups of the amino acids. Quaternary structure refers to interactions between multiple polypeptide chains in a single protein.

Protein is a macronutrient that is essential to building muscle mass. It is commonly found in animal products, though is also present in other sources, such as nuts and legumes. There are three macronutrients: protein, fats and carbohydrates. Macronutrients provide calories, or energy.
Proteins are the most abundant organic molecules of the living system.
They occur in every part of the cell and constitute about 50% of the cellular dry weight.
Proteins form the fundamental basis of structure and function of life.
Amino acids are the monomers that make up proteins
Proteins are naturally occurring polymers made up of amino acids and linked together by peptide bonds.
Proteins are the most abundant organic molecules in the living system.
The term "protein" is derived from the Greek word proteios, meaning holding the first place.
These are nitrogenous organic compounds that have large molecules weight of one or more long chains of amino acids.
Proteins are made from 20 ɑ-amino acids. (chains of amino acids)
A single unit of amino acid is known as a monomer. When many monomers combine together, they form polymers.
Protein - a macromolecule is explained. The general characteristics, its chemical and structural components are described. Protein sources, nutritive value also dealt in it. As a major portion classification of proteins are given. Along with it properties, both physical and chemical properties and the various functions of proteins are also given

Deep Behavioral Phenotyping in Systems Neuroscience for Functional Atlasing a...Ana Luísa Pinho
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) provides means to characterize brain activations in response to behavior. However, cognitive neuroscience has been limited to group-level effects referring to the performance of specific tasks. To obtain the functional profile of elementary cognitive mechanisms, the combination of brain responses to many tasks is required. Yet, to date, both structural atlases and parcellation-based activations do not fully account for cognitive function and still present several limitations. Further, they do not adapt overall to individual characteristics. In this talk, I will give an account of deep-behavioral phenotyping strategies, namely data-driven methods in large task-fMRI datasets, to optimize functional brain-data collection and improve inference of effects-of-interest related to mental processes. Key to this approach is the employment of fast multi-functional paradigms rich on features that can be well parametrized and, consequently, facilitate the creation of psycho-physiological constructs to be modelled with imaging data. Particular emphasis will be given to music stimuli when studying high-order cognitive mechanisms, due to their ecological nature and quality to enable complex behavior compounded by discrete entities. I will also discuss how deep-behavioral phenotyping and individualized models applied to neuroimaging data can better account for the subject-specific organization of domain-general cognitive systems in the human brain. Finally, the accumulation of functional brain signatures brings the possibility to clarify relationships among tasks and create a univocal link between brain systems and mental functions through: (1) the development of ontologies proposing an organization of cognitive processes; and (2) brain-network taxonomies describing functional specialization. To this end, tools to improve commensurability in cognitive science are necessary, such as public repositories, ontology-based platforms and automated meta-analysis tools. I will thus discuss some brain-atlasing resources currently under development, and their applicability in cognitive as well as clinical neuroscience.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvementIshaGoswami9
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.

Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.
2. Proteins are biological polymers composed
of amino acids. Amino acids, linked together by
peptide bonds, form a polypeptide chain. One or
more polypeptide chains twisted into a 3-D shape
form a protein. Proteins have complex shapes
that include various folds, loops, and curves.
Folding in proteins happens spontaneously.
Chemical bonding between portions of the
polypeptide chain aid in holding the protein
together and giving it its shape.
3. • There are two general classes of protein
molecules: globular proteins and fibrous
proteins. Globular proteins are generally
compact, soluble, and spherical in shape.
Fibrous proteins are typically elongated and
insoluble. Globular and fibrous proteins may
exhibit one or more of four types of protein
structure. These structure types are called
primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary
structure.
4. Protein Structure Levels
The four levels of protein structure are distinguished
from one another by the degree of complexity in the
polypeptide chain. A single protein molecule may
contain one or more of the protein structure types.
5. 1. Primary Structure - describes the unique order in which
amino acids are linked together to form a protein.
Proteins are constructed from a set of 20 amino acids.
Generally, amino acids have the following structural
properties:
• A carbon (the alpha carbon) bonded to the four
groups below:
• A hydrogen atom (H)
• A Carboxyl group (-COOH)
• An Amino group (-NH2)
• A "variable" group or "R" group
6.
7. 2. Secondary Structure - refers to the coiling or folding
of a polypeptide chain that gives the protein its 3-D
shape. There are two types of secondary structures
observed in proteins. One type is the alpha (α)
helix structure. This structure resembles a coiled spring
and is secured by hydrogen bonding in the polypeptide
chain. The second type of secondary structure in proteins
is the beta (β) pleated sheet. This structure appears to
be folded or pleated and is held together by hydrogen
bonding between polypeptide units of the folded chain
that lie adjacent to one another.
8.
9. 3. Tertiary Structure - refers to the comprehensive 3-D
structure of the polypeptide chain of a protein. There are
several types of bonds and forces that hold a protein in its
tertiary structure. Hydrophobic interactions greatly
contribute to the folding and shaping of a protein. The "R"
group of the amino acid is either hydrophobic or
hydrophilic. The amino acids with hydrophilic "R" groups
will seek contact with their aqueous environment, while
amino acids with hydrophobic "R" groups will seek to
avoid water and position themselves towards the center
of the protein.
10.
11. 4. Quaternary Structure - refers to the structure of a
protein macromolecule formed by interactions between
multiple polypeptide chains. Each polypeptide chain is
referred to as a subunit. Proteins with quaternary
structure may consist of more than one of the same type
of protein subunit. They may also be composed of
different subunits. Hemoglobin is an example of a protein
with quaternary structure. Hemoglobin, found in
the blood, is an iron containing protein that binds oxygen
molecules. It contains four subunits: two alpha subunits
and two beta subunits.
12.
13. Amino acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.
These are necessary ingredients for the growth
of human beings. Amino acids contain both
basic amino groups and acidic carboxyl groups.
The ingredients present in protein are of amino
acids. Both peptides and proteins are the long
chains of amino acids.
14. General properties of Amino Acids
• Amino acids are soluble in water and insoluble in
hydrocarbon solutions.
• They are crystalline solid substances.
• They have very high melting point compared to
their boiling point.
15. List of Amino Acids
• There are around twenty amino acids, which are
involved in the construction of proteins. The lists of
twenty amino acids are:
• Alanine, aspartic acid, asparagines, arginine, cytosine,
cysteine, glycine, glutamine, glutamic acid, histidine,
isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, Proline,
phenylalanine, serine, tyrosine, threonine, tryptophan
and Valine.
16. Essential Amino Acids
There are few amino acids which are essential for
human beings such as: phenylalanine, Valine,
threonine, tryptophan, isoleucine, methionine,
leucine, lysine, and histidine. They are very much
essential, as they cannot be bio synthesized by our
body.
17. Functions of Essential Amino Acids:
• Phenylalanine: Helps in boosting memory power
and also helps to maintain a healthy nervous
system.
• Valine: Helps in growth of muscles.
• Threonine: It promotes the functioning of immune
system.
• Tryptophan: Plays a vital role in maintaining our
appetite.
18. • Isoleucine: Plays a vital role in synthesis of hemoglobin
and it is a major component of RBC (red blood cells).
• Methionine: Helps in maintaining a good and healthy
skin.
• Leucine: It promotes the synthesis of growth hormones.
• Lysine: They are involved in the synthesis of enzymes
and other hormones.
• Histidine: Helps in the production and synthesis of both
RBC (red blood cells) and WBC (white blood cells).
19. Nonessential Amino Acids
There are few amino acids, which are non
essential for human beings as they can be easily
bio synthesized by our body. The non essential
amino acids are: Alanine, cysteine, cystine,
glutamine, glycine, glutamate, arginine, tyrosine,
serine, asparagines, aspartic acid,
selenocysteine and Proline.
20. Functions Non Essential Amino Acids:
• Alanine: Helps in removal of toxic from our body.
• Cysteine: It provides resistance to our body and
inhibits the growth of hairs, nails and etc.
• Cystine: It functions as an antioxidant and protects
our body against radiation and pollutions.
• Glutamine: It is necessary for the synthesis of RNA
and DNA.
21. • Glycine: It acts as a neurotransmitter and plays a vital role in
healing wounds.
• Glutamate: Helps in removal of toxic from our body.
• Arginine: It promotes the biosynthesis of proteins.
• Tyrosine: It plays a vital role in the production of T3 and T4
thyroid hormones.
• Serine: Helps in growth of muscles.
• Asparagines: Helps in the formations of purines and pyrimidines
for the DNA synthesis.
• Aspartic acid: It is similar to asparagines amino acids. It
promotes the synthesis of other amino acids.
• Proline: Helps in regeneration of new skin.
22. Classification of Amino Acids
Amino acids are placed into seven groups based on their
substituent.
• Aliphatic amino acids: Alanine, glycine, isoleucine, leucine, Proline
and Valine.
• Aromatic amino acids: phenylalanine, tryptophan and tyrosine.
• Acidic amino acids: aspartic acid and glutamic acid.
• Basic amino acids: arginine, histidine and lysine.
• Hydroxylic amino acids: serine and threonine.
• Sulphur containing amino acids: cytosine and methionine.
• Amidic amino acids: asparagines and glutamine.
