Concept explainers
Interpretation:
Bonding responsible for secondary structure of protein and atoms involved are to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Many amino acids are linked together through amide bonds to form a biologically large molecule known to be proteins.
Amino functional group is
Secondary structure of protein is the repeating structural patterns (
Hydrogen bonding is an electrostatic attraction between hydrogen and an electronegative atom.
