Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that proteins are composed of amino acids linked together in a specific sequence.
Recognize that the sequence of amino acids in a protein is referred to as the primary structure.
Learn that the primary structure is the most basic level of protein structure, determining the unique sequence of amino acids.
Differentiate between primary structure and other levels of protein structure, such as secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, which involve folding and interactions beyond the amino acid sequence.
Remember that the primary structure is crucial because it dictates the higher levels of structure and ultimately the function of the protein.
