Re: Denaturation of enzymes

... the protein was first created? Say, for example, you have the covalent bonds (along the entire primary structure) that form first, followed by disulphide bonds. What if a single disulphide bond were to form first, before all the covalent bonds had finished creating the primary structure? Is ...

... bonds are in quaternary structure yet! So it isn't a need to go on secondary structure as I wrote. The quaternary structure is supported by ionic, disulphide, van der Valse and hydrogen bonds. But hydrophobic bonds appear just in tertiary structure. So according to sequence I wrote, answer would ...
