Question

The chain of amino acids folds and coils on itself

  1. Primary
  2. Secondary
  3. Tertiary
  4. Quaternary

hintHint:

Secondary

The correct answer is: Secondary


    • The secondary structure is the three-dimensional folding or coiling of a chain of amino acids
    • For example: β-pleated sheet, α-helix.
    • Therefore, the chains of amino acids folds and coils on itself to form secondary structure.
    • So, the correct option is b.

    What is the special type of bond that forms between two amino acids?

    • Ionic bonds are formed by the transfer of one or more electrons between 2 atoms.
    • Hydrogen bonds are attractive force between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a very electronegative atom such as a N, O, or F.
