Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
Primary structure has to be explained based on structure, type of bond and molecular interaction.
Concept introduction:
Primary structure is the sequence of amino acid connected by peptide bond in a polypeptide chain.
(b)
Interpretation:
Secondary structure has to be explained based on structure, type of bond and molecular interaction.
Concept introduction:
Secondary structure is the arrangement of polypeptide chain, in a regular pattern of
(c)
Interpretation:
Tertiary structure has to be explained based on structure, type of bond and molecular interaction.
Concept introduction:
Tertiary structure is the folding of a single protein into a specific three dimensional shape, held by noncovalent interaction between the side chains.
(d)
Interpretation:
Quaternary structure has to be explained based on structure, type of bond and molecular interaction.
Concept introduction:
Quaternary structure is forms when two or more proteins chains assembles n a larger three-dimensional structure held together by noncovalent interaction.

- Macmillan Learning Cholesterol synthesis begins with the formation of mevalonate from acetyl CoA. This process activates mevalonate and converts it to isopentenyl pyrophosphate. Identify the atoms in mevalonate and isopentenyl pyrophosphate that will be labeled from acetyl CoA labeled with 14C in the carbonyl carbon. Place 14C atoms and C atoms to denote which carbon atoms are labeled and which are not labeled.
