Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The order of the amino acids occur in the chain
A
disulfide cross-link
B
hydrophobic
C
primary structure
D
secondary structure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary structure of a peptide or protein is the linear sequence of its amino acids (AAs). By convention, the primary structure of a protein is read and written from the amino-terminal (N) to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end. Each amino acid is connected to the next by a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-2: -The primary structure is comprised of a linear chain of amino acids. The secondary structure contains regions of amino acid chains that are stabilized by hydrogen bonds from the polypeptide backbone. These hydrogen bonds create alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheets of the secondary structure.

Detailed explanation-3: -The actual order of the amino acids in the protein is called its primary structure and is determined by DNA. The order of deoxyribonucleotide bases in a gene determines the amino acid sequence of a particular protein.
