Explain the process of protein de maturation with an appropriate example

Expert Solution
Step 1

Biomolecules can be defined as the molecules which are involved in different biochemical reactions in living organism. Carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids are the most common biomolecules.

Step 2

Proteins are the building blocks of living cells in living organism. They are polymers of amino acids. The primary structure of protein is the sequence of amino acids. The α-helix and β-sheet structure are the secondary structures. Similarly tertiary and quaternary structures also have certain weak intermolecular forces.
