Protein Activity







1. What type of bond is found in the primary structure (Amino acids)?

Polar peptide bonds are found between the amino acids.

2. Why does the secondary structure form (Alpha Helix)?

The secondary structure forms because of the polar peptide bonds. 

3. What created the 3rd structure? Why did your protein look different then everyone else's? 

The 3rd structure was created by the protein attraction or repelling each other. Mine looked different then everyone else's because I choose different proteins which causes different shapes because some proteins repel and some attract to each other.

4. How was the 4th structure created? 

The 4th structure was created by two or more polypeptides which got stuck together because two proteins attracted each other.

5. Would your protein have the same shape if you changed the primary structure? Explain.

No it would not because their would be different proteins which repel or attract each other which would make different shapes.
