Detailed explanation-1: -The tertiary structure is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tertiary (3D) structure is a shape resulting from folding of secondary structures determined by interactions between side chains of amino acids.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hydrophobic Interactions These non-covalent bonds are the most important factor and driving force in the formation of the tertiary structure. If we place hydrophobic (water-hating) molecules in water, these molecules will aggregate together and form large chunks of hydrophobic molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Covalent bonds are the strongest chemical bonds contributing to protein structure. A covalent bond arises when two atoms share a pair of electrons.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Significance of Protein Structure Their tertiary structure gives proteins a very specific shape and is an important feature in the ‘lock and key’ function of enzymes, or receptor sites on cell membranes.
