  • made up of a chain of amino acids/polypeptides
    • proteins
      • dipeptide is 2 amino acids joined
      • theyre catalyic
      • many hormones are proteins
      • globular
        • soluble
          • hydrophilic groups outside,water loving
            • hydrophobic groups inside,water hating
        • eg.haemaglobin
        • round,compact polypeptide chains
        • coiled
        • become insolube and inactive when denatured
      • carboxylic group
      • uses
        • transport in and out of cells
        • transport
        • hormones
  • polypeptide chains held together by crosslinks
    • this makes them strong but insoluble in water
    • fibrous

      • loose structural length when denatured
