Question
Write a note on primary structure of protein compounds.

Answer

Proteins may have one or more polypeptide chains.
→"Each polypeptide in a protein has amino acids linked with each other in a specific sequence and this sequence of amino acids is said to be the primary structure of that protein."
Any change in the primary structure i.e., the sequence of amino acids creates a different protein.
