Organizational Levels of Biomacromolecular Structures

TABLE 6.10 Different levels of structural organizations of biomacromolecules 

Primary structure Nucleotide sequence, linear Amino acid sequence, diphosphoesteric linkages, linear amide linkages, 

Monosaccharide sequence, linear/branched, glycosidic linkages, nonreduced — reduced 

Duplex helix with base pairings, bases/tum 10 

Varied (mostly single and double) heUx, glycoses/turn = 5-10 e.g. 6 lesidues/turn for amylose.
