Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The type of interaction present between the side chains of tyrosine and glutamine is to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The structure of proteins has four stages. These four stages are: primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures. In primary structure, the amino acids are arranged to give the backbone of protein. In secondary structure, the pattern of the peptide chain is arranged in certain order. In tertiary structure, the interactions between the side chains of amino acids are considered. In quaternary structure, two or more peptide chains are linked.
Answer to Problem 19.42E
The type of interaction present between the side chains of tyrosine and glutamine is hydrogen bonding.
Explanation of Solution
The structures of tyrosine and glutamine are shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1
In tyrosine, the side chain has
Therefore, the type of interaction present between the side chains of tyrosine and glutamine is hydrogen bonding.
The type of interaction present between the side chains of tyrosine and glutamine is hydrogen bonding.
