Proteins are biological polymers composed of amino acids. Amino acids, linked together by peptide bonds, form a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains twisted into a 3-D shape form a protein. Proteins have complex shapes that include various folds, loops, and curves.
Proteins. The basic building blocks of proteins are amino acids. The bonds that hold amino acids together are known as peptide bonds. To break the peptide bonds in a protein, a hydrolysis reaction is needed similar to that involved in breaking up carbohydrates.Enzymes known as proteases are needed to break up the protein.roteins.
