The building blocks of protein are amino acids. Within the protein, multiple amino acids are connected by peptide bonds which forms a long chain.
The primary structure of a protein — its amino acid sequence — drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein's unique three-dimensional shape.
