Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation : The type of interaction between the R groups of cysteine and cysteine in the
Concept Introduction : The primary structure of amino acid shows the sequence of amino acids in the molecule whereas, the secondary structure can be alpha helix or beta platted structure. The tertiary structure arises due to interactions between R groups of bonded amino acid molecules. These interactions depend on the
(b)
Interpretation : The type of interaction between the R groups glutamine and arginine in the
Concept Introduction : The primary structure of amino acid shows the sequence of amino acids in the molecule whereas, the secondary structure can be alpha helix or beta platted structure. The tertiary structure arises due to interactions between R groups of bonded amino acid molecules. These interactions depend on the functional group present in the R group. These interactions can be disulphide linkage, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions etc.
(c)
Interpretation : The type of interaction between the R groups of serine and aspartate in the
Concept Introduction : The primary structure of amino acid shows the sequence of amino acids in the molecule whereas, the secondary structure can be alpha helix or beta platted structure. The tertiary structure arises due to interactions between R groups of bonded amino acid molecules. These interactions depend on the functional group present in the R group. These interactions can be disulphide linkage, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions etc.
(d)
Interpretation : The type of interaction between the R groups of leucine and leucine in the
Concept Introduction : The primary structure of amino acid shows the sequence of amino acids in the molecule whereas, the secondary structure can be alpha helix or beta platted structure. The tertiary structure arises due to interactions between R groups of bonded amino acid molecules. These interactions depend on the functional group present in the R group. These interactions can be disulphide linkage, hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, ionic interactions etc.
