63%
Molecule consisting of glycerol, two fatty acids and one phosphate groupPhospholipid
62%
The overall three-dimensional shape of a protein molecule. Its shape arises due to interactions including hydrogen bonding, disulfide bridges, ionic bonds and hydrophobic interactionsTertiary structure
62%
A bond formed when two amino acids are joined by a condensation reactionPeptide bond
60%
The coiling or folding of an amino acid chain, which arises often as a result of hydrogen bond formation between different parts of the chain. For example, alpha helixes and beta pleated sheetSecondary structure
60%
A bond formed between two monosaccharides by a hydrolysis reactionGlycosidic bond
54%
