A protein is a chain, or polymer, of amino acids. There are 20 standard amino acids which can be linked together in any combination, and each one is like a building block for making a protein. Proteins can be anywhere from just a few to several hundred amino acids in length. The amino acids in a protein are linked to each other by Carbon-Nitrogen amide linkages, or "peptide bonds".
There are several dimensions of structure which make up a protein. The primary structure of a protein is simply the sequence of amino acids linked together in the chain. Secondary structure consists of specific shapes which the protein chain can bend or twist into, such as alpha-helices or beta-sheets. Tertiary structure is the three-dimensional positioning of the secondary structural elements. Finally, some proteins have a quaternary structure in which several smaller proteins associate with each other via non-covalent interactions to form a larger protein complex.
proteins; they form a covalent bond with amino acids creating a peptide bond
Yes
Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds to form proteins.
Peptide bonds connect amino acids. ~
bonds that hold monomer together. Like peptide bonds in protein and glucosidic bonds in complex sugars.
proteins; they form a covalent bond with amino acids creating a peptide bond
PEPTIDE
Proteins have peptide bonds which are covalent.
No, peptide bonds are between amino acids in proteins.
Peptide Bonds are bonds that keep amino acids togetherHydrogen Bonds are bonds that keep proteins together and give them their 3-D form
Proteins
Yes
Proteins have their monomers joined by peptide bonds. These monomers are amides. A number of amides are bond by peptide bonds to make proteins.
peptide bonds
Amino acids are joined by peptide bonds to form proteins.
Peptide bonds that are between proteins are broken when proteins are denatured.
