biomolecular structure

Biomolecular structure refers to the specific arrangement of atoms within molecules like proteins, DNA, and other biological molecules. This structure determines their function and how they interact within living organisms. Proteins, for example, fold into complex shapes that enable enzymes to facilitate reactions, while DNA’s double helix stores genetic information. These structures are stabilized by various chemical bonds and can be organized at different levels, from simple chains to highly intricate three-dimensional forms. Understanding biomolecular structures helps scientists grasp how biological processes work and develop targeted medicines and therapies.
