Amino acids — definition?
Organic molecules with amino and carboxyl groups.
Peptide bond — formation?
Covalent bond between amino acids via dehydration synthesis.
Protein properties — roles?
Catalysis, support, transport, regulation.
Protein levels — order?
Primary, secondary, tertiary, quaternary.
Fibrous proteins — example?
Collagen and keratin, structural support.
Globular proteins — example?
Hemoglobin and enzymes, soluble and functional.
