Banana protein

Banana protein

Banana Proteins are large organic compounds made of amino acids arranged in a linear chain and joined together in banana shapes by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of adjacent amino acid residues.

The sequence of amino acids in a protein is defined by a gene and encoded in the genetic code. Although this genetic code specifies 20 "standard" amino acids plus selenocysteine and - in certain archaea - pyrrolysine, the residues in a protein are sometimes chemically altered in post-translational modification: either before the protein can function in the cell, or as part of control mechanisms. Proteins can also work together to achieve a particular function, and they often associate to form stable banana protein complexes.
