Question

Describe what do you understand by primary structure and secondary structure of protein

Answer 1

Primary Structure of ProteinsThe primary structure is the sequence of amino acids that make up a polypeptide chain. 20 different amino acids are found in proteins. The exact order of the amino acids in a specific protein is the primary sequence for that protein.

Secondary Structure of ProteinsProtein secondary structure refers to regular, repeated patterns of folding of the protein backbone. The two most common folding patterns are the alpha helix and the beta sheet.
