The specific amino acid sequence of a protein and the resulting hydrogen bond is its ___
- primary structure
- secondary structure
- tertiary structure
- quatemary structure
-Protein structure refers to the arrangement of the amino acids in a protein.Here the monomers of proteins are joined with the peptide bonds.
- The protein structure provides us various information regarding the function of the protein.
-There are mainly four basic types of protein structure as;
1 Primary structure
2 Secondary structure
3 Tertiary structure
4 Quaternary structure
-Primary structure of protein denotes the exact ordering of the amino acids, I.e the exact arrangement of the amino acids forming their chains.
-In simple words we can define that the primary structure of proteins denotes the exact arrangement of the amino acids in the polypeptide chains, which is necessary to study the function of the proteins.
-In the secondary structure of protein the amino acids are not just as usual arranged but there occurs the folding due to the interaction between carboxyl group and the amino group.Here it gives rise to two types of structure as alpha-helix and Beta -pleated structure of protein.
-In the secondary structure of protein this folding occurs due to the hydrogen bonding between the -co group and the -NH groups of the peptide bonds.
-The three dimensional structure of the protein is denoted by the tertiary and quaternary structure of the protein.
