Learning Strategies in Biochemistry:
Protein Sequence

Revised 2008/05/22


Essential Review

Much of the material in a chapter on primary structure of proteins is new, building upon the previously presented properties of amino acids.

From Organic Chemistry

If you are not familiar with the following topics, look them up in the index of your general or organic chemistry text, and review them thoroughly:

Chromatography
Solubility: What does "like dissolves like" mean?

Essential Memory Work

Assuming that you have already memorized the structures of the 20 most common amino acids, there is no new memory work for this subject.

You will find a sample problem in protein sequencing on the Goodies page.
