Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Which amino acid is known for its role in protein structure stabilization through disulfide bonds?
  • Step 1: Understand that proteins are made of building blocks called amino acids.
  • Step 2: Learn that some amino acids can form special bonds to help stabilize the structure of proteins.
  • Step 3: Identify that the amino acid cysteine is unique because it can form disulfide bonds.
  • Step 4: Recognize that disulfide bonds are connections between two cysteine molecules, which help hold the protein's shape together.
