The document discusses the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures of proteins. The primary structure refers to the specific sequence and bonding of amino acids in a polypeptide chain. Secondary structure occurs when parts of the chain fold into regular patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets. Tertiary structure involves further folding of the chain around itself, influencing the protein's function. Quaternary structure refers to the way multiple polypeptide chains assemble together in a protein complex.

The primary structure of a polypeptide reaction to make a dipeptide. A _________ determines the type and position of bonds Amino group in the protein – so protein function depends molecule is lost in the reaction. on the primary structure.
SECONDARY STRUCTURE Fibrous Globular Polypeptide chains do not usually lie straight. ____________________ pull the chains into regular patterns, shown on the right:
Proteins are folded around themselves even more than the regular secondary structure. This depends on the position of various bonds. The function of the molecule depends on the tertiary structure – eg. enzyme active sites. Changes can disrupt the tertiary structure and _____________ the protein. QUATERNARY STRUCTURE
