Document Summary
Primary structure tells us the order the amino acids are put together. Proline: because of its cyclic structure, it can often be found in the bend portion of a protein chain. R groups sticking out of part of the protein may attract another r group sticking out from another part of the protein. Primary: order or sequence of amino acids held together by covalent (peptide) bonds. Secondary: arrangement of protein chain, sheet, or helix held together by hyrdrogen bonds. Full range of bonding (ionic, covalent, and hydrogen bonds) Means by which a # of globules are held together. The 3d structure of proteins directly dictate their function. Nucleic acids have a diff. building block than proteins. + phosphate nucleotide (monomer of nucleic acids) nucleic acid. Difference between rna and dna the oh on rna vs the h on dna (or rna.
