A main method for protein structure determination is x-ray analysis, also named x-ray crystallography. Generally speaking, x-ray crystallography comprises protein crystallography as a small, but very significant part. Protein crystallography does allow determining protein secondary structure and subsequently threefold structure of protein. Sometimes, on the basis of x-ray crystallography information it is possible do define the protein quaternary texture, but it is not always the case. A lot of different circumstances can influence the determination of protein texture. The main characteristics of protein is the protein folding. According to all theories, all data about protein folding is stored in the protein basic structure, or in protein sequence, that is why it is important to start any protein function analysis from determination of succession of protein. When the ground of protein is properly learned, there will be an opportunity to define lots of various features of protein as classification of protein, protein functions etc. and just learn more about function of protein. Despite our achievement of those researches, the basic protein problem is not resolved yet. There is some definite connections between the structure of protein and its basic structure, but they haven't been specified. Scientists managed to resolve that problems just for the kind of proteins named peptides. The peptide classification is the domain that is well-studied. Thanks to the modern technologies we have a opportunity to fulfill the peptide synthesis process.
