primary structure of a protein

Cards (4)

  • primary structure
    is the sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain.
  • Different proteins have different sequences of amino acids in their primary structure. A change in just one amino acid may change the structure of the whole protein.
  • the primary structure is held together by peptide bonds between amino acids
  • a proteins primary structure
    A) amino acids
    B) peptide bonds
