Primary structured proteins
specific sequence of amino acids the polypeptide chain, held together by peptide bonds
Secondary structured proteins
random coils, beta pleated sheets, alpha helices. held together by hydrogen bonds
Tertiary structured proteins
3D structure and mix of alpha helices, beta pleated sheets and random coils. held together by hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds and disulfide bridges
Quaternary structured proteins
proteins with many polypeptide chains, and how they are arranged with eachother, globular or fibrous
CHO, CHO
carbs and fats
