Peptide Site (P)

21
Q

It holds the NEXT AMINO ACIDS to be added.

A

Acceptor Site (A)

22
Q

The POLYPEPTIDE’S AMINO ACID sequence.

A

Primary (1°) Structure

23
Q

It forms as amino acids CLOSE IN THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE attract; may form loops, coils, barrels, helices, or sheets.

A

Secondary (2°) structure

24
Q

It appears as MORE WIDELY SEPARATED AMINO ACIDS attract or repel in response to water molecules.

A

Tertiary (3°) structure

25
Q

It forms when a protein consists of MORE THAN ONE POLYPEPTIDE.

A

Quaternary (4°) structure

26
Q

It is a TUNNEL-LIKE multiprotein a structure where a protein with more than one tag is sent.

A

Proteasome
