Hi all,
Can someone please help me out with this??
6. Which of the following is a type of intramolecular force that is seen in the tertiary structure of a protein, but not in the secondary structure of a protein?
I understand that E is correct but wouldn't D also be correct. Due to disulfide bridges which are covalently bonded. I have tried searching for this answer on google and a couple sites listed disulfide bonds as under tertiary structure only. Should I assume bootcamp wrong on this one? Or can someone provide a more thorough explanation? This frustrated me even more because in the detailed description of the problem it lists disulfide bridge as tertiary.
