Detailed explanation-1: -The chemistry of amino acid side chains is critical to protein structure because these side chains can bond with one another to hold a length of protein in a certain shape or conformation. Charged amino acid side chains can form ionic bonds, and polar amino acids are capable of forming hydrogen bonds.
Detailed explanation-2: -Every amino acid also has another atom or group of atoms bonded to the central atom known as the R group. This R group, or side chain, gives each amino acid proteins specific characteristics, including size, polarity, and pH.
Detailed explanation-3: -The genetic code is the sequence of nucleotide bases in nucleic acids (DNA and RNA) that code for amino acids. These gene codes not only determine the order of amino acids in a protein, but they also determine a protein’s structure and function.
Detailed explanation-4: -The actual order of the amino acids in the protein is called its primary structure and is determined by DNA.
Detailed explanation-5: -Tertiary (3D) structure is a shape resulting from folding of secondary structures determined by interactions between side chains of amino acids.
