Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is local interactions between stretches of a polypeptide chain and includes -helix and -pleated sheet structures. Tertiary structure is the overall the three-dimension folding driven largely by interactions between R groups.
