Question
what determines the primary structure of a protein?
the number of double bonds
the sequence of amino acids
how the hydrogen bonds form
how the glycerol and fatty acids bond
The primary structure of a protein refers to the linear sequence of amino acids in the polypeptide chain. This sequence is determined by the genetic code in DNA. The number of double bonds is more relevant to lipid structures. How hydrogen bonds form is related to secondary and higher - order protein structures. How glycerol and fatty acids bond is relevant to lipid (e.g., triglyceride) formation.
