@ Biology the bond type linking the subunits of proteins together is commonly called the hydrogen bond?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

true of false

OpenStudy (anonymous):

proteins made of units called amino acid.they all have an amin group and a carboxilic group.these groups react and made covalancy bond or peptid bond in secondary structure of proteins we have di-sulfid bonds (S-S) in third structure hydrophobic powers in 4 structure that gathered 2 or more proteins hydrogenic and other week bonds!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hydrogen bonds, ionic bonds, hydrophobic interactions, and disulfide bridges between R groups hold the parts [links] of the molecule shape.

OpenStudy (blues):

Protein structure is stabilized - by which I mean proteins are held together - by a variety of bonded and non-bonded interactions between different atoms and regions of the molecule. Some of these forces are hydrogen bonds, some of them are not. Whether the answer is true or false depends on what you mean by 'protein subunit.' Taken at face value, with protein subunit to mean different small proteins or peptides assembled into a larger macromolecular structure, the yes, hydrogen bonds are largely (but not exclusively) responsible for providing stability. If you mean 'subunit' to be the individual amino acids - which I have a feeling you do - then the answer is false, these are held together by covalent bonds.
