Primary Structure of Proteins
  1. made up of polypeptide chains
    1. 5000 amino acids linked together
    2. 20 different amino acids
      1. neutral solution = zwitterionic
        1. + charge on nitrogen atom
          1. negative charge on carboxyl group
          2. all amino acids = same general structure
            1. except proline
            2. all amino acids = have the L configuration
              1. except glycine
              2. peptide bond = loss of water molecule
                1. N-terminal end has NH3+ group
                  1. other end = carboxyl group
