Study Notes
General Principles of Proteins
-
Primary structure:
- Sequence of amino acids encoded by DNA.
- Amino acids linked together by covalent bonds (including disulfide bonds).
-
Secondary structure:
- Orderly inter- or intramolecular hydrogen bonding of the protein chain.
- Often organized into alpha-helices or beta-sheets.
