1.4 Protein
Protein made up of :
PROTEINS
<MK
1. = monomer or simplest form of protein.
2. peptide = dimer of protein formed from the condensation of
two molecules of amino acids.
3. peptide = polymer of proteins formed from the
condensation of many molecules of amino acids.
AMINO ACIDS
Draw and label the general structure of an Describe the general structure of an amino
amino acid acid
There are 20 different amino acids, all differing at their chain. However the side chains can
be grouped into 4 distinct groups based on similar properties creating 4 groups of amino acids.
