Help:Proteins
There are several different types of parts in the Registry associated with proteins.
- Translational units begin with the RBS, the site of translational initiation, and end with a stop codon, the site of translational termination.
- Protein coding sequences are DNA sequences that encode mRNAs that can be translated into a polypeptide chain which then folds into a 3 dimensional structure called a protein.
- Protein domains encode portions of proteins and can be assembled together to form translational units.
For answers to common questions on these part types, see the FAQ.
