What type of bond joins monomers in a primary structure?

Peptide bonds join the monomers in a protein's primary structure.


What makes up amino acid?

Amino acids are made up of an amino group (NH2), a carboxyl group (COOH), and a side chain (R group) that varies for each amino acid. The side chain is what differentiates one amino acid from another and gives each its unique properties.


Primary structure joined by?

The primary structure of proteins is joined by peptide bonds. Peptide bonds form between the amino group of one amino acid and the carboxyl group of another amino acid during protein synthesis. This linkage creates a linear chain of amino acids that make up the protein's sequence.


What is the primary element in amino acids?

By looking at structures and formulas of amino acids one would have to say that carbon was the primary element making up amino acids.


How a second amino acid would bond to cysteine in forming the primary strusture of a protein?

A condensation reaction between the acid group of one amino acid and the amino group of another forms a covalent bond between two amino acids. A water molecule is also produced. A new bond formed is called a peptide bond.


The 20 different polysaccharides used to make proteins differ in what is attached in their R group position?

This statement is not accurate. Polysaccharides are composed of repeating units of monosaccharides linked together, while proteins are made up of amino acids. The R group in amino acids refers to the side chain that differentiates one amino acid from another, not polysaccharides.


What do you call the covalent bonds that produce polypeptide's primary structure?

The covalent bonds between amino acids are called peptide bonds. It is a bond between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid. Amino acids are bonded through condensation reactions, which produces a water molecule.

What is primary structure of a protein and what causes it?

Primary structure of the protein is simply its amino acid sequence. It is the sequence in which amino acids are added during protein synthesis.


Which molecule is a chain of amino acids?

What the primary structure of myoglobin?

The primary structure of myoglobin is a linear sequence of amino acids linked together by peptide bonds. It consists of a single polypeptide chain with a specific sequence of amino acids that determines its overall structure and function.
