Document Summary
Protein structure and function: the cell: macromolecules are constructed from amino acids and constitute most of the dry mass of the cells. Takes water away (it"s the main dry segment of molecules within the cell that (cid:498)do(cid:499) things, it refers to the products of gene: structural components and can also execute cell function. The 3d shape is specific by the amino acid sequence. Monomers to polymers protein has the significant effect to the folding/shape of the protein. Hence the properties of the amino acids covalently linked by a peptide bond into a chain making up the protein: the peptide formation is with the removal of water and are joined together due to the polarity. Covalent bond between the carbon atom in the carboxyl group of 1 amino acid shares electrons with nitrogen atom of amino group of other amino acid. Complete turn every 3. 6 amino acid orientation or polypeptide chain folds back and forth upon itself.
