Structure
The C-reactive protein is a homopentamer of non-covalently bound subunits. Each subunit is a 25 Da protein consisting of 224 residues bound together. The secondary structure is formed of four α-helices and three β-sheets (five-stranded, three-stranded and seven-stranded). [3] The predominant structure is β-sheet.[4]
