| Front | Bonds in tertiary structure Nonpolar side chains: ___ ___ (end up in clusters at the core of the protein) and van der Waals interactions Polar side chains: hydrogen bonds Positively and negatively charged side chains: ionic bonds Covalent bonds called ___ ___ (-S-S-) may further reinforce the shape of a protein. They form where two cysteine monomers, which have sulfhydryl groups (-SH) on their side chains are brought close together by the folding of the protein. |
