Definition

Protein kinematics::

the study of a protein’s structure, mobility, and consequently its function using systematic kinematic notations

Primary structure::

the sequence of amino acids held together by peptide bonds

Secondary structure::

regular structures such as α-helices and β-sheets that appear within protein chain

Tertiary structure::

three-dimensional structure of protein molecules as one polypeptide

Quaternary structure::

the association of the two or more polypeptide in one protein structure (does not define for every protein)

Protein folding::

a process in which a protein molecule’s three-dimensional structure is shaped from its primary structure

Degree of freedom (DOF)::

the number of independent parameters needed to describe the movement of a mechanical system

Dihedral angles::

the angle between two intersecting planes
