A main method for protein structure detection is x-ray analysis, which is called x-ray crystallography. Generally speaking, x-ray crystallography includes protein crystallography as a little, but so significant segment. Protein crystallography is a perfect system of studying more about the secondary, and as it found out threefold structure of protein. On the basis of x-ray analysis the quaternary texture of protein can be described. The capability of protein structure describing depends from lots of different factors. The main properties of protein is the protein folding. As of today many scientists try to perform the intensive analysis of the protein function. They have already tested thoroughly that all the essential information of protein can be retrieved from its basic structure or in protein sequence. When the origin of protein is completely learned, there will be an opportunity to define many different properties of protein as classification of protein, protein functions etc. and just learn more about protein problem. Regardless of our progress in those researches, the basic protein problem can't be worked out yet. It is impossible to study how the texture of protein is related with its primary structure. Scientists managed to resolve that problems just for the type of proteins called peptides. The peptides is the demesne that is well-studied. Owing to the modern technologies we have a opportunity to perform the peptide synthesis process.
