See the wikipedia article on tetrodotoxin, TTX.
The four different types of protein structures are determined by the interactions between amino acid residues in the polypeptide chain. These structures are held together by different types of bonds: primary structure by peptide bonds, secondary structure by hydrogen bonds, tertiary structure by disulfide bonds, hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, and hydrophobic interactions, and quaternary structure by the same bonds as tertiary structure.
There are several types of bonds that can have a crystallized structure. These include ionic bonds, covalent bonds, and metallic bonds. The crystal structure is an arrangement of atoms and molecules.
Tetrodotoxin binds to voltage gated sodium channels and blocks them from passing sodium into cells. These channels are a critical part of the functioning of nerve cells and blocking the movement of sodium effectively blocks the transmission of information along the nerve cells. This in turns leads to paralysis in the animal or person that was exposed to tetrodotoxin.
Sulfur can form a maximum of six bonds in a Lewis structure.
Yes, fatty acids can have double bonds in their structure. These double bonds can affect the physical properties and functions of the fatty acids.
Tetrodotoxin contains both covalent and polar covalent bonds. Covalent bonds are formed between atoms sharing electrons, holding the molecule together. Polar covalent bonds have unequal sharing of electrons, creating partial positive and negative charges within the molecule, contributing to its overall structure and properties.

Bonds in the primary structure of proteins, like peptide bonds, hold amino acids together in a specific sequence, forming the backbone of the protein chain. These bonds are crucial for determining the overall structure and function of the protein.
Yes, unsaturated fatty acids have double bonds in their chemical structure.
The bonds of the hair are hydrogen bonds, salt bonds, and disulfide bonds. These bonds contribute to the strength and structure of the hair by holding the protein molecules together, providing stability and resilience to the hair shaft. Disulfide bonds, in particular, are responsible for the strength and elasticity of the hair.
Several, and they are mostly the same as tertiary structure. Hydrogen bonding, London dispersion/Van der Waal's forces, dipole moments, disulfide bonds, and occasionally (such as in hemoglobin), ionic bonding.
Thymine hydrogen bonds help hold the two strands of DNA together in a double helix structure by forming specific bonds with adenine on the opposite strand. These hydrogen bonds provide stability to the overall DNA structure.
