Lecture, chapter 7 - Proteins

We finished chapter 6, on transcription of genes, and went ahead and started chapter 7, on protein structure and function.

We talked about amino acids, the monomers that make up polypeptides, and how they are organized in four levels of structure. We also made the distinction between a polypeptide and a protein. We took a closer look to the primary and secondary structures of polypeptides (and proteins).
