Actually, proteins are made into a chain because they are connected to each other by their subunit, the amino acid. When translation makes polypeptide using mRNA, the amino acids connect to each other until the chain is completed, then hydrogen bonds and other means will bundle up the polypeptide chain to make a functional protein.
