Primary proteins are also called as polypeptides because :
- AThey can assume many conformations
- BThey are linear chains
- CThey are polymers of peptide monomers
- DSuccessive amino acids are joined by peptide bonds
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: D
Option (4) is the correct answer because primary proteins are heteropolymers containing strings of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.
Option (1) and (2) are incorrect as primary proteins are called polypeptides due to the presence of many monomers linked via peptide bonds, not due to the presence of many conformations.
Option (3) is incorrect because proteins are polymers of amino acid monomers.
