Editing Protein tertiary structure (section)

=== Cytoplasmic environment ===
Prediction of protein tertiary structure relies on knowing the protein's [[primary structure]] and comparing the possible predicted tertiary structure with known tertiary structures in [[protein data bank]]s. This only takes into account the cytoplasmic environment present at the time of [[protein biosynthesis|protein synthesis]] to the extent that a similar cytoplasmic environment may also have influenced the structure of the proteins recorded in the protein data bank.
