Amino acids, peptide links, and protein structure

What this note covers

1. Amino acid structure and self-ionisation

3. Condensation creates a peptide link
4. Count links and check molecular masses
5. Interactions produce a three-dimensional arrangement
6. Denaturation links conditions, shape and function
7. Peptide mass and sequence are different questions
8. Interpreting reversible and irreversible protein changes
