peptide bond

36
Q

chains of aa are called ?

A

polypeptides

37
Q

Denaturation are (reversible or permanent change?)

A

reversible

38

Q

Denaturation; Once the physical or chemical factor is removed, the protein may assume…

A

original state

40
Q

A permanent change in protein shape

A

Coagulation

41
