Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 3.2PS
Stability of Protein Structure. Several different kinds of bonds or interactions are involved in generating and maintaining the structure of proteins. List five such bonds or interactions, give an example of an amino acid that might be involved in each, and indicate which level(s) of protein structure might be generated or stabilized by that particular kind of bond or interaction.
