Secondary and higher orders of structure are determined by all EXCEPT:
A) hydrophobic interactions.
B) ionic bonds.
C) van der Waals forces.
D) hydrogen bonds.
E) peptide bonds.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Peptide bonds form the primary structure of a protein and do not contribute to the determination of secondary or higher orders of structure. Hydrophobic interactions, ionic bonds, van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bonds are all important in determining these higher levels of structure.
