Proteins are made of amino acids joined together by peptide bonds. An amino acid consists of a central carbon atom that is bonded to a hydrogen atom, an amine group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH) and an R group that is different depending on which amino acid it is. The Amine group of one amino acid looses an H and the carboxyl group of another amino acid looses an OH and the N and C bond to one another to form a peptide bond and link the amino acids.

Chemical structure of hemoerythrin?
Active site of hemerythrin before and after oxygenation. Single oxygenated hemerythrin protein.
What does the tertiary structure of a protein tell you about the protein?
It tells us about the three dimensional structure of the protein in its folded configuration.
What is it called when you heat a protein and ruin its structure?
Denaturation is what heating a protein and ruining its structure is called. The protein structure can also be denatured using chemicals, radiation, etc.
What is the difference between acetyl CoA and coenzyme A?
Coenzymes are small, organic, non-protein molecules, such as vitamins, that carry chemical groups between enzymes. They are sometimes known as cosubstrates. Coenzymes are substrates for enzymes but are not considered part of an enzyme's structure. Cofactors are non-protein chemical compounds that are bound (either tightly, as in prosthetic groups; or loosely, as in coenzymes) to an enzyme and is required for catalysis. A cofactor can be a coenzyme or a prosthetic group.
Is an enzyme a structural protein or functional protein?
Yes, enzymes are proteins and it is their sequence of amino acids (primary structure) that determines what kind of an enzyme it is and makes all the enzymes unique and it is the tertiary structure of enzymes that maintains their shape and give rise to the unique active site. When an enzyme is denatured, it loses its tertiary structure and therefore its shape.
Why do you have to need types of protein?
aminoacids,chemical structure
How is a protein changed by denaturation?
The chemical structure and of course the chemical and physical properties are changed,
In which structure does extracellular chemical digestion of protein begin?
Stomach
What chemical bonds shape secondary protein structure?
The bonds are covalent.
Is making a protein shake a chemical of physical change?
Shaking is a physical process.The chemical structure and composition of the compound is not changed.
Chemical structure of hemoerythrin?
Active site of hemerythrin before and after oxygenation. Single oxygenated hemerythrin protein.
Why does an enzyme become denatured when heated?
Heat breaks chemical bonds in protein molecule which distorts its structure and catalytic activity .
Which level of protein structure is unaffected when a protein is denatured?
The primary structure
What is structure of protein?
what are structures of protein
What does the tertiary structure of a protein tell you about the protein?
It tells us about the three dimensional structure of the protein in its folded configuration.
When is a protein considered an enzyme?
When it has the potential to facilitate a chemical reaction; to make it faster. The structure of enzyme-proteins can accelerate a chemical reaction by bringing reactants together by its binding, confinement properties, among others. Structure can indeed easily code for function.
Is hemoglobin a protein that exhibits the quaternary structure of protein folding?
The tertiary structure is the folding
