The gamma chymotrypsin protein, shown at left, will serve as an example protein. For more background on bonds, including strong and weak bonds, see the chemical bonds page. Shows a few examples of the types of chemical bonds that play important roles in determining and stabilizing 3-D protein structure. To turn off stereo mode, return here and use this button.
