Summary Introduction

To review:

The given blank space in the statement, “maintains the helical structure of many proteins: ______; links polypeptide chains and can cause protein to bend: _____ and _____; joins the two strands of double helix: ______; links amino acids to form the primary structure of protein; _____.

Introduction:

Chemical bonds play a very important role in carrying out any chemical reaction. Breaking or making of the chemical bond generates energy. This gives liberty to the reaction to use the generated energy in any way. There are different types of bond, which maintains the linking pattern between the organic molecules. They aid in the connection of small subunits called monomer, resulting in the formation of long chains called polymer.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
which of the following is correct about the structure of proteins? a- the number of peptide bonds is equivalent to the number of amino acid residues b- the secondary structure of proteins are mostly stabilized by hydrophobic interactions c- protiens mostly composed of polar amino acids will have an elongated (fibrous) tertiary structure d- the quaternary structure of a protein is formed between or among similar polypeptides only
Which of the following describes a primary protein structure?A) Protein structure maintained by disulfide linkages.B) Amino acid sequence maintained by peptide bonds.C) Protein chains maintained by interactions of peptide backbones like an α-helix.D) Arrangement of multiple protein subunits.E) Protein structure maintained through multiple hydrogen bonds.
Which statement about quaternary structure is TRUE?    Quaternary structure is unaffected by acids or heat.        Quaternary structure is determined by the same interaction that holds an α-helix together.        Quaternary structure is how prosthetic groups are held in a protein.        Quaternary structure is the position of subunits in the overall structure of a protein.        All proteins have quaternary structure
