Question

question
which of the following types of connections maintain the primary structure of a protein?
select all that apply:
hydrophobic interactions
hydrogen bonds
peptide bonds
disulfide bonds

Explanation:

The primary structure of a protein is the linear sequence of amino acids. Peptide bonds are covalent bonds that link amino acids together in this sequence. Hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds are involved in secondary, tertiary, or quaternary structures. Disulfide bonds (covalent bonds between cysteine residues) are mainly relevant to tertiary or quaternary structures (though in some cases can affect folding during formation of higher - order structures). Only peptide bonds directly maintain the primary structure.

Answer:

peptide bonds
