Question
Explain the primary structure of proteins.
✓
Answer
Primary structure of proteins:
- Primary structure of proteins is the sequence of constituent α-amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds.
- Any change in the sequence of amino acid residues results in a different protein.
- Primary structure of proteins is represented by writing the three-letter symbols of amino acid residues as per their sequence in the concerned protein.
- The symbols are separated by dashes. According to the convention, the N-terminal amino acid residue is written at the left end and the C-terminal amino acid residue at the right end.

For the reaction,
$CH _3 Br ( aq )+ OH -( aq ) \rightarrow CH _3 OH ^{\ominus}( aq )+ Br ^{\ominus}( aq )$, rate law is rate $= k \left[ CH _3 Br \right]\left[ OH ^{\ominus}\right]$
a. How does reaction rate changes if $\left[ OH ^{\ominus}\right]$ is decreased by a factor of $5$ ?
b. What is change in rate if concentrations of both reactants are doubled?
