Expert Solution
Introduction

-Proteins are polymers, specifically polypeptides, generated from amino acid sequences. Proteins are formed by amino acids undergoing condensation events in which the amino acids lose one water molecule every reaction to establish peptide bonds with one another.

-The main structure is held together by peptide bonds formed during the protein manufacturing process. The sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain is referred to as protein's fundamental structure.
