The letters in the primary structure are the single-letter abbreviations of the amino acids. The single-letter abbreviations are given in the amino acid portion of this tutorial. The primary sequence of AAC (2’)-Ic, a protein enzyme, was an important discovery to the study because it revealed the cause of the Tobramycin acetylation, leading to its inactivity.
