Question

the secondary structure of a protein results from

  • hydrogen bonds
  • hydrophobic interactions
  • peptide bonds
  • bonds between sulfur atoms
  • ionic bonds

part e
tertiary structure is not directly dependent on

  • hydrophobic interactions
  • bonds between sulfur atoms
  • peptide bonds
  • ionic bonds
  • hydrogen bonds

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The secondary structure of a protein is formed by hydrogen - bonding between backbone atoms. Tertiary structure is the overall three - dimensional shape of a polypeptide and is stabilized by hydrophobic interactions, disulfide bonds (bonds between sulfur atoms), ionic bonds, and hydrogen bonds, but not directly by peptide bonds which form the primary structure.

Answer:

The secondary structure of a protein results from: hydrogen bonds
Tertiary structure is NOT directly dependent on: peptide bonds
