Detailed explanation-1: -The linear sequence of amino acids within a protein is considered the primary structure of the protein. Proteins are built from a set of only twenty amino acids, each of which has a unique side chain. The side chains of amino acids have different chemistries. The largest group of amino acids have nonpolar side chains.
Detailed explanation-2: -To reiterate, the primary structure of a protein is defined as the sequence of amino acids linked together to form a polypeptide chain. Each amino acid is linked to the next amino acid through peptide bonds created during the protein biosynthesis process.
Detailed explanation-3: -The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
