Proteins
Dehydration synthesis: Amino end of one amino acid
combines with hydroxyl group of carboxylic end of another amino acid.
Peptide bond: Bond between two adjacent
amino acids.

Secondary structure (2o)
Based on the primary structure Weak hydrogen bonds form between
hydrogen and oxygen of a different amino acid.
Two main kinds of secondary structure: Alpha helix: Bond cause chain to twist in a
helix. Beta pleated sheet: interactions between
lengths of the polypeptide chain

Tertitary structure
Polypeptide chains bend and fold. Based on interactions with aa in different parts
of the polypeptide chain disulfide bonds: covalent Hydrogen bonds: weak
Produce 3 -dimensional shapes. Chemical interaction of each protein
produces own characteristic tertiary structure
Denaturing protein Irreversible disruption of tertiary structure
