Question

A polypeptide has an amino acid sequence of: alanine-leucine-tryptophan-glycine-valine-alanine. this chain of amino acids is further organized into a helix that in-turn, folds in and around itself to form a globular structure. the primary structure of this polypeptide is

Answer 1

A polypeptide is a linear organic polymer consisting of a large number of amino-acid residues bonded together in a chain, forming part of (or the whole of) a protein molecule.

According to the given question, the primary structure of this polypeptide is :

alanine-leucine-tryptophane-glycien-valine-alanine

Answer 2

Answer:

The primary structure is: alanine-leucine-tryptophane-glycien-valine-alanine.

Explanation:

The primary structure of a polypeptide corresponds to the linear sequence of amino acids joined by peptide bonds. In this case, if a polypeptide is formed by alanine-leucine-tryptophan-glycine-valine-alanine, this sequence represents its primary structure. In some proteins, replacing one amino acid with another within its primary structure can cause disease and even lead to death.
