Document Summary
Covalent- physically sharing and is very stable in aqueous solutions. H bonds are very weak and they are just affiliated. Not holding hands, but just standing next to each other. One form of these is glycogen (found in the human liver) Sterols form the basis of a lot of our hormones. Excess glucose store it as glycogen in the liver for excess energy. You have to get rid of nitrogen everyday in the form of urine. Basic anatomy of an amino acid polymer = polypeptides. Except for the r group (functional group) Amino acids join together through dehydration reactions that form peptide bonds. Then have a string of amino acids (primary structure) A positively charged amino acid is added to one side. Form a little loop on the string (more complicated 3d structure) Antibody protein needs to recognize very specifically for the virus that it wants to attack. The antibody will match the protein structure of the virus.
