The collective shape assumed by all of the chains in a protein containing multiple chains. b. The folding of an individual protein molecule. c. The regular repeated shape of the protein molecules backbone. d. The sequence of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds.arrow_forwardWhat is the major difference between a simple protein and a conjugated protein?arrow_forward
- What element is always present in proteins that is seldom present in carbohydrates and lipids?arrow_forwardTwo proteins with the same amino acid composition do not have to have the same primary structure. Explain why.arrow_forward. How many unique amino acid sequences are possible for a tripeptide containing only the amino acids gly, ala, and cys, with each amino acid occurring only once in each molecule?arrow_forward
- Approximately how many different proteins are present in a typical human cell?arrow_forwardGive an example of amino acids that could give rise to the interactions pictured in Fig. 21-24 that maintain the tertiary structures of proteins.arrow_forward22-53 Do iron and zinc ions play role in protein structure? If so, what is the role for either or both?arrow_forward
