OWL l Online teachin PHYS 2A Homework f BIOL 102 17 Amino acids polymerize to form lincar chain proteins that have comparatively few covalent crosslinksbetween the linear chains. What is the main reason for this? OAmino acid side groups have relatively few functional groups capable offorming covalent crosslinks. OCrosslinking between amino acid chains is sterically hindered. OThe orientation of specific side groups altermates on either side of the chain, making group-group crossinks unlikely. OHydrogen bonding across chains is sufficient to hold the chains together.

Amino acids polymerise to form to linear chain proteins that have comparatively few covalent cross links between

Aminoacids side groups have relatively few functional groups capable of forming covalent cross-links-answer

=====================================================

explanation

Covalent modification and crosslinking of proteins is based on the availability of specific chcemical that capable of reacting with functional groups in proteins.
