The following points highlight the top two bonds relating to protein structure. The bonds are: 1. Strong Bonds 2. Weak Bonds. Protein Structure: Bond # 1. Strong Bonds: A. Peptide bonds: The primary structure of proteins is derived from peptide bonds which can be established by the following evidences: i. Proteases produce polypeptides by hydrolyzing proteins. They can also hydrolyze [...]
The following points highlight the four structure types of proteins. The types are: 1. Primary Structure 2. Secondary Structure 3. Tertiary Structure 4. Quaternary Structure. Type # 1. Primary Structure: Peptide bond is formed by the amino acids linked by carboxyl group of one amino acid with the α-amino group of another amino acid as shown: H2N-CH2-CO-NH-CH2-COOH Glycyl-Glycine Thus, they [...]
