The pattern Gly-Val-Gln-Cys-Cys-Ala-Ser-Val is an example of a primary protein structure. True or False?

Solution

False

The given pattern contains a Cys-Cys covalent disulfide bond linkage. It is formed by the oxidation of two sulfhydryl groups. These bonding interactions in the protein chain may cause creation of folds, bends, and loops. Hence, the given pattern suggest tertiary protein structure.
