The primary structure of a protein refers to its
linear
arrangement of
amino acid residues.
The primary structure of a protein refers to its
linear
arrangement of
amino acid residues.
Protein structure
is determined by the sequence of
amino acids
, which can be altered through
mutations
or
genetic engineering.
Amino acids are the
building blocks
of
proteins.
Secondary structures
are
localized
regions within the
polypeptide chain
that have
regular spatial arrangements
, such as
alpha-helices
or
beta sheets.
Amino acids
are joined together by
peptide
bonds between their
carboxyl
group (
COOH
) and
amine
group (
-NH2
).
There are
20
different types of
amino acids
found in
proteins.
Amino acids
are joined together by
peptide bonds
, forming the
backbone
of the
protein.
