PROTEIN STRUCTURE
• PRIMARY STRUCTURE
• The primary structure is the specific
sequence of amino acids i.e. the
order that they are bonded together.
• The exact order that amino acids are
bonded together is determined by
the information stored in genes.
PROTEIN STRUCTURE
• PRIMARY STRUCTURE (contd)
• Through processes called transcription
and translation,
• DNA provides all the necessary
information for cells to produce the exact
primary structure for thousands of
different proteins.
• The primary structure determines the
secondary and tertiary structures of
proteins.
