primary structure

of a segment of a polypeptide
https://doi.org/10.1351/goldbook.P04844
The amino acid @ST06775@ of the @P04749@ chain(s), without regard to spatial arrangement (apart from configuration at the α-carbon atom).
Note:
This definition does not include the positions of disulfide bonds and is therefore not identical with 'covalent structure'.
