Titin [5] / ˈ t aɪ t ɪ n / (contraction for Titan protein) (also called connectin) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TTN gene. [6] [7] The protein, which is over 1 μm in length, [8] functions as a molecular spring that is responsible for the passive elasticity of muscle.
The IUPAC name for Titin. This is the largest known protein and so has the longest chemical name. Written in full, it contains 189,819 letters. [48] Periplanone B: Periplanone B A pheromone of the female American cockroach. Thebacon: Thebacon Dihydrocodeinone enol acetate, an opioid analgesic or antitussive. [citation needed]
The IUPAC nomenclature for organic chemical compounds is open-ended, giving rise to the 189,819-letter chemical name Methionylthreonyl threonyl . . . iso leucine for the protein also known as titin, which is involved in striated muscle formation. In nature, DNA molecules can be much bigger than protein molecules and therefore potentially be ...
Schematic representation of structural classes of protein according to the CATH classification scheme. [1] Proteins are a class of macromolecular organic compounds that are essential to life. They consist of a long polypeptide chain that usually adopts a single stable three-dimensional structure.
The words protein, polypeptide, and peptide are a little ambiguous and can overlap in meaning. Protein is generally used to refer to the complete biological molecule in a stable conformation, whereas peptide is generally reserved for a short amino acid oligomers often lacking a stable 3D structure. But the boundary between the two is not well ...
Telethonin is a 19.0 kDa protein composed of 167 amino acids. [8] Telethonin has a unique β-sheet structure, which enables antiparallel association with the Titin Z1-Z2 domains in cardiac and skeletal muscle. [9]

By convention, peptide sequences are written N-terminus to C-terminus, left to right (in LTR writing systems). [1] This correlates the translation direction to the text direction, because when a protein is translated from messenger RNA, it is created from the N-terminus to the C-terminus, as amino acids are added to the carboxyl end of the protein.
