No, the polypeptide sequence of amino acids is the primary structure of a protein. The quaternary structure of the protein is the non-covalent interactions (hydrophobic binding, van der wals forces etc..) between subunits/domains of a protein.

What is the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called?
primary structure
What is the level of protein structure that describes all aspects of the three-dimensional folding of a polypeptide?
Primary: Simple string of amino acids called a polypeptide. Secondary: The varied hydrogen bonding of the side chains resulting in alpha helixes and beta sheets. Tertirary: The R group bondingd; hydophobic, hydrophilic, hydrogen bonding and disulfide bonding, which results in the globular, actual protein. Quarternary: The construction of multi protein subunits from tertiary structure. Such as hemeglobin.
The sequence of amino acids joined together refers to the?
Peptide sequence or amino acid sequence is the order in which amino acid residues, connected by peptide bonds, lie in the chain in peptides and proteins. The sequence is generally reported from the N-terminal end containing free amino group to the C-terminal end containing free carboxyl group. Peptide sequence is often called protein sequence if it represents the primary structure of a protein.
What is the relationship between the linear sequence of codons on mRNA and the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide?
The linear sequence of codons on mRNA determines the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?
Yes, a polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids.
What chain is a sequence of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
What is the linear sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain is called?
primary structure
What chain is the sequence of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
What is protein primary structure?
it's a genetically coded sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain
What is the primary structure of DNA?
The sequence of nitrogenous bases forms the primary structure of the molecule, analagous to the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide.
Does the primary structure of a polypeptide refer to its size?
In part, yes. The primary structure is just the sequence of amino acids. If the chain consists of many amino acids, then obviously the chain will be longer and the protein bigger. However, the secondary through quaternary structures have more to do with the way that chain is folded into a space.

Is A polypeptide is a sequence of proteins or amino acids?
Yes, a polypeptide is a sequence of amino acids.
What are the different levels of protein structure and how are they determined?
Primary: Specific Sequence of amino acids specified by the Gene; Secondary: Portions of proteins begin to coil and fold into unique 3D conformations; Tertiary: Formed by interactions between side chains of various amino acids; Quaternary: Incorporate multiple polypeptide "sub-units." TWEEKS Welcome.
What is the linear chain of amino acids in a protein?
The monomers in a polypeptide are the amino acids. The sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide (or protein) is called the primary structure. It is the primary structure of proteins which is coded for by the DNA in the genes: the sequence of bases in the DNA is a code for the sequence of amino acids in a protein (or polypeptide).
