Primary structure of protein :
- the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.
- it read from the N-terminal end to the C-terminalend.
important structure cause it will determine the 3-d structure of protein.
Example of effects of changes in primary structure:
Sickle-cell anemia
amino acid substitution will cause mulfunctioning protein.

The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of what?
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
What is a three dimensional protein that is formed by the interaction of R groups in the primary structure?
This is not in the primary structure, or even from the primary structure. This folding of proteins into the globular final shape by the bonding interaction of R groups is called the tertiary phase of protein synthesis. ( tertiary means three )
Why protein is called primary structure?
Proteins *have* primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary structures. The primary structure is simply the chain of amino acids without any other structure. Secondary structure results from folding of the chain to form rudimentary structures such as alpha helices, beta sheets and turns. Tertiary structure results from the further folding of the protein with secondary structures into different 3D shapes by interactions between different parts of the secondary structure. Quarternary structure results from different proteins with tertiary structures coming together to form a protein complex.
Where can hydrogen bond be found in living organisms?
in dna i.e between the bases of the polynucleotides in primary, secondary and tertiary structure of proteins
Do proteins have hydrogen bonds?
H bonding is not present in primary n secondary structure of a protein how ever in tertiary and Quaternary its present to give protein stability
What are primary proteins?
There is not something known called primary proteins. But proteins do have primary structure. Poly peptide chains after synthesized from ribosomes make up primary structure of a protein. this will afterward form 2D and 3D structure with additional structures and interactions.
Is the structure of protein primary?
The primary structure of proteins is simply a peptide (chain of amino acids).
Which element is NOT characteristic of the primary structure of proteins?
Phosphorus is not a primary characteristic of protein structure. Proteins do many things within a cell, such as molecule transport and storage.
What structure of proteins are the sequence of amino acids known as?
That's the primary structure.
Can you sequence the proteins?
Yes; by their primary structure of amino acids.
What is the three dimensional Structure of Keratin?
Keratin is a protein, so it has both a primary and secondary structure. In fact, all proteins have a primary and secondary structure, along with a tertiary and quaternary structure. There are many different ways proteins can be structured and shaped, so biochemists divide proteins into 4 separate parts or structures.
What has the author Walter A Schroeder written?
Walter A. Schroeder has written: 'The primary structure of proteins'
How are proteins distugushed from each other?
They have different primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure.
The primary structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of what?
Amino acids, the building blocks of proteins.
What is the bond that exists within proteins?
The atoms of proteins are bond with covalent bonds. The type of bonds participated in making the primary structure of proteins are peptide bonds. Proteins are natural polymers.
Is it true that proteins at the inner surface of the plasma membrane attach the membrane to the cells support structure making the cell rigid?
The primary proteins of cellular structure (such as in microfilaments or intermediate tubules) is myosin and actin, and sometimes collagen, and all of these are proteins in the cell. Because proteins generally connect to similar structures (aka other proteins), and the cellular membrane must SOMEHOW be attached to the primary cell structure, and it is easier to connect to the inner membrane than outer, the answer is yes.
What is a three dimensional protein that is formed by the interaction of R groups in the primary structure?
This is not in the primary structure, or even from the primary structure. This folding of proteins into the globular final shape by the bonding interaction of R groups is called the tertiary phase of protein synthesis. ( tertiary means three )
