- the general structure of amino acids
- carboxylic acid group makes it an acid
- r group is different on different amino acids
- eg NH2 is the amino group
- joining amino acids form a peptide bonds one peptide bond to 2 amino acids
- primary structure is the sequence of amino acids,this determined the secondary and tertiary structure
- condensation reactions form dipeptides
- dipeptide chains to form polypeptide chains
- there are 3 levels primary,secondary and tertiary structure
- secondary structure,areas of folding happen along these chains coil form to produce an alpha helix
- the tertiary structure is the overall 3d structure of the poly peptide usually contains more than one chain held together by hydrogen bonds
