Question
complete the table to compare the structures of a protein and dna.
| protein | dna | |
|---|---|---|
| has primary, secondary, and tertiary structures | ||
| has hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases |
Brief Explanations
- Proteins are composed of amino - acids linked by peptide bonds. DNA is made of nucleotides and does not have peptide bonds.
- Proteins have primary (amino - acid sequence), secondary (alpha - helices and beta - sheets), and tertiary (3 - D folding) structures. DNA has a double - helix structure and is not described in terms of these protein - specific structures.
- Hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases are characteristic of DNA (A - T, G - C base - pairing), not proteins.
