Protein Activity

Questions:


1. The covalent bonds between amino acids in the primary structure are called peptide bonds.
2. The secondary structure forms the alpha helix, this is caused by the negative and positives attracting causing them to form the alpha helix due to polar peptide bonds.
3. The third structure was created by repulsion and attraction. It was different due to the twenty different variables which can create different combinations.
4. The last structure was created by two combining amino acids, and that variable either repelled or attracted.
5. The answer is no because the R group determines the shape, and since their are twenty different R variables they either repel or attract.
