The primary sequence of a protein refers to the:

• Order of amino acids
• α-Helix or β-Pleated Sheet
• Interaction of subunits
• Hydrogen Bonding

Structures like an α-Helix are formed because of:

• Hydrophobic Interactions
• DiSulphide Bridges
• Salt Bridges
• Hydrogen Bonding

• 20
• ∞
• 15
• 42
