Protein Lab

1.  A peptide bond is found in the primary structure between the amino acids.

2. The secondary structure forms because of polar peptide bonds between the amino acids.

3. The interaction between the different R groups which are basically amino acids create the tertiary structure.

4. Two or more polypeptides which are stuck together create the quaternary structure.  My protein shape looked differently than everybody else's proteins because everybody had different R groups therefore the interaction between their amino acids will cause the shapes to be different.

5. My protein would not have the same shape if I changed the primary structure because the interaction of the R groups would be different.

6. The highlighted parts represent the different R groups and this picture shows that the amino acid structure is not as straightforward as shown on our notes
  

This is the picture of my protein at the final stage.
