1) Q: What type of bond is found in the primary structure(between amino acids)?

     A:  The peptide bond is found between the amino acids in the primary structure.

2) Q: Why does the secondary structure form (alpha helix)?

     A: It forms because of the polar peptide bonds between the amino acids and the chain twists.

3) Q: What created the 3rd structure? Why did your protein look different than everyone else?

     A: THe 3rd structure was created by interactions between R groups, covelent bonds. It looked different because the amino acids were different. 

4) Q: How was the 4th structure created?

    A: The 4th structure was created because 2 or more poly peptides are stuck together. 

5) Q: Would your protein have the same shape if you changed the primary structure?

     A: Yes the shape would change because the amino acids would be different and it would change the overall structure.
