antibody
marks proteins with an eat mean sign for the white blood cells to come and destroy
31
levels of protein structure
- primary= order of amino acids - secondary=hydrogen bond alpha helix(spirals) - tertiary= folds in on itself(zig zag) - quaternary= join with other chains
32
chaperone proteins
helps proteins fold the wrong way
