a. -A protein is a polymer of amino acids
-Amino acids form a particular sequence
-R group varies between amino acids and determined type of amino acid
-Primary structure of a protein is it's unique sequence and number of amino acids
-Determined by genetics
-Determines other structures peptide bonds
-Secondary structure of a protein is the three-dimensional shape including the various folding and coilings of the polypeptide chain
