Primary Structure


Primary structure of polypeptides
In general, polypeptides are unbranched polymers, so their primary structure can often be specified by the sequence of amino acids along their backbone.

Primary Structure
The primary structure of a protein is its linear sequence of amino acids and the location of any disulfide (-S-S-) bridges.

The primary structure of a protein simply [is] the linear amino acid sequence-you could write down on a piece of paper the primary structure of a protein.

The process of protein synthesis whereby the primary structure of the protein is determined by the nucleotide sequence in mRNA.

The sequence of codons in the mRNA unambiguously defines the primary structure of the final protein. Of course, the codons in the mRNA were also present in the genomic DNA, but the sequence may be interrupted by introns.
