Biochemistry: The Molecular Basis of Life, Chapter 3, Problem 2Q

Introduction:

Proteins are linear polymers of various amino acids. They are the fundamental macromolecules of a living cell, which are involved in various functions, such as transport, catalysis, movement, as well as structure. Examples of proteins are keratin, myosin, collagen, and fibroin. Protein molecules involve a number of bond, such as strong covalent bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonds, as well as weak vanderWaal forces.
