|
amino acids
|
|
One of 20 organic molecules that contain a carbox and amino group
|
amino acid
|
|
bond that forms between the carbox group of one amino acid and the amino group of another amino acid.
|
peptide
|
|
the resulting biological polymer that forms in peptide is
|
polypeptide
|
|
can form a looped protein or 2 separate polypeptides
|
disulfide bridge
|

|
|
primary structure is
|
amino acid sequence of a polypeptide chain
