Concept explainers
a.
To determine:
The difference between primary and secondary protein structures.
Introduction:
Proteins are formed by the sequences of amino acids and these amino acids undergo condensation reaction for the formation of protein. For performing its function, protein folds into a specific spatial arrangement driven by a number of non covalent interactions, such as ionic interactions, hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic interaction and Van der Waals forces. The range of amino acids in protein structure varies from one to several thousand.
Levels of protein structure are,
- 1. Primary structure.
- 2. Secondary structure.
- 3. Tertiary structure.
- 4. Quaternary structure.
b.
To determine:
The difference between complete and incomplete protein.

- Once cooked, egg whites remain in a solid form. However, egg whites that are beaten to form meringue will partially change back to a jellylike form if allowed to stand for a while. Explain these behaviors using the concept of reversible protein denaturation.arrow_forwardWhich of the following describes the primary structure of proteins? a. The collective shape assumed by all of the chains in a protein containing multiple chains. b. The folding of an individual protein molecule. c.
