Proteins
Large biomolecules built from amino acids, essential for nearly every biological function.
Amino Acids and Peptide Bonds
Proteins are polymers of amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds.
Structure of Proteins
- Primary structure — the sequence of amino acids
- Secondary structure — local folding patterns, such as the alpha-helix
- Tertiary structure — the overall 3D folded shape
