HO HO II. NH₂-C-C-N-C-C-OH 11 HR R Question 13 Proteins are more complex than the sequence of amino acids. The amino acid sequence is called the primary structure of a y protein. The string of amino acids is coiled and pleated in places, creating what is called the secondary structure. Then the whole string, along with coils and pleats, is folded into a three-dimensional shape. This three-dimensional shape, the tertiary structure, b what gives proteins, their functionality. There is even a fourth (quatemary) level of structure in proteins, in which different protein subunits (called polypeptides) join together to form a giant functional protein. Peptide bond Proteins serve many functions in living organisms. They are structural materials, they are tiny molecular machines called enzvines, they are receptors and signaling molecules, among many other vital rokes. However, proteins are relatively delicate. They only function correctly in a narrow range of conditions. If a protein is subjected to conditions outside its range of tolerance, it becomes denatured. This means its tertiary structure (it three-dimensional shape is disrupted. This tends to render the protein non- functional, However, it does not change the sequence of the amino acids, so it does not change the nutritional value of the protein How many bonds would you expect this alpha carbon to form?
