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.
Introduction:

- Describe what is meant by (a) the primary structure of a protein. (b) the secondary structure of a protein. (c) the tertiary structure of a protein.arrow_forwardHow does secondary protein structure differ from tertiary protein structure?arrow_forwardExplain why the presence of certain proteins in body fluids such as urine or blood can indicate that cellular damage has occurred in the body.arrow_forward
- Two proteins with the same amino acid composition do not have to have the same primary structure. Explain why.arrow_forwardOnce 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_forward
