Protein Primary Structure
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
A protein's primary structure is the specific linear sequence of amino acids joined by peptide bonds along its chain.
Show
Changing even one amino acid in a chain of hundreds can change the protein's primary structure enough to change how it folds.
Watch for
Primary structure names only the sequence, not the three-dimensional shape that sequence goes on to fold into.
