Post by: tatda on Apr 20, 2013
Match these descriptions with the structure in relates to:

results from the interactions between side chains (R groups) of amino acids.

amino acid sequence

the overall shape of a polypeptide

Beta pleated sheet

alpha helix

results from hydrogen bonding between the backbone constituents of the polypeptide

the aggregation of multiple polypeptide subunits

primary: amino acid sequence

secondary: Beta pleated sheet and alpha helix, results from hydrogen bonding between the backbone constituents of the polypeptide

tertiary: results from the interactions between side chains (R groups) of amino acids.

quaternary: the overall shape of a polypeptide, the aggregation of multiple polypeptide subunits
