Protein Structure

Question 1

Primary Structure

Answer 1

From the mRNA codons, a sequence of amino acids are formed and bonded by peptide bonds creating a POLYPEPTIDE CHAIN

Question 2

Secondary Structure

Answer 2

The polypeptide chain will either 𝛼-helix or β-pleat.

This is established through H-bonding.

Question 3

Tertiary Structure

Answer 3

Polypeptide chain folds into a 3D shape due to the attractions/repulsions between R-groups.
