A

unique sequence of amino acids in the chain

18
Q

secondary protein structure

A

formed by hydrogen bonds between peptide chains

19
Q

tertiary protein structure

A

bending/folding due to interaction of R groups

quaternary protein structure

A

large proteins
2 or more polypeptides

proteins fold:

A

spontaneously to be most stable

24
Q

coagulation

A

permanent change, can never go back to original form
ex. boiled egg
