Peptide Bonds Connect Amino Acids
Proteins are made of monomers called amino acids
Polypeptide Many amino acids connected by peptide bonds polypeptides
20 amino acids
Structural Activity
Primary Structure Order of amino acids linked together in a long chain One end carboxyl & one end amino
Secondary Structure Chain of a.a. s bends based on the R groups Alpha helix or Beta pleated sheets
Tertiary Structure Further folding of the polypeptide chain – Disulfide bridges
Quaternary Structure Different polypeptide chains come together to form the final protein
