POLYPEPTIDE
Various type of amino acids can linked to form polypeptide chain.
STRUCTURE OF PROTEIN
I) primary structure II) secondary structure III) tertiary structure IV) quartenary structure
PRIMARY STRUCTURE
A linear sequence of amino acid in polypeptide chain.
SECONDARY STRUCTURE
Polypeptide chain that is coiled form:
alpha-helix
Hydrogen bond
Beta-pleated sheet
TERTIARY STRUCTURE
the alpha-helix chain or beta-pleaded sheets are folded into a 3-D shape of a polypeptide. example: hormone , enzyme, antibodies.
QUARTENARY STRUCTURE
Combination of 2 or more tertiary structure polypeptide chains to form one large or complex protein molecule. example: haemoglobin
ii) non-essential amino acid - amino acid that can be synthesized by the body. - example: alanine
