Peptide Bond

A

When two amino acids are bonded through a dehydration reaction through a covalent bond

27
Q

Four Levels of Protein Structure

A

Primary- Unique sequence of amino acids
Secondary- Patterned coils and folds that contribute to the overall protein shape
Tertiary- Overall shape of the polypeptide
Quaternary- Overall protein structure that results from the aggregation of the polypeptide subunits
Quaternary
