= Protein topology
{wiki=Protein_topology}
Protein topology refers to the spatial arrangement and connectivity of a protein's secondary structure elements, such as alpha helices, beta sheets, and loops. It describes how these elements are organized in three-dimensional space and how they are linked together to form the overall structure of the protein. In simpler terms, protein topology focuses on the relationship between different parts of a protein, rather than the specific atomic details of its conformation.
