united by a peptide bond
primary structure
depends on
the sequence of amminoacids
secondary structure
depends on
whether the protein chains are
straight
folded up
are responsible for many different functions
for example
structural proteins
maintain the structures of cells and tissues
hormones
regulate many processes in organisms
signalling proteins
transform signals
transport proteins
transport chemical compounds
immunoglobulin
figth foreign molecules that cause infections
motor proteins
convert chemical energy in mechanical energy
storage proteins
contain energy
receptors
receive signals
