Question
Chapter 19, Problem 19.34E
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The term primary structure of proteins is to be described.
Concept introduction:
Proteins are the nitrogenous organic compound composed of one or more long chains of amino acids. Many protein molecules contain a chain of amino acids twisted and folded in to a complex structure. To understand protein function there are four levels of organization in their structure and referred as primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
