Detailed explanation-1: -Tertiary structure-the level of protein structure at which an entire polypeptide chain has folded into a three-dimensional structure. In multi-chain proteins, the term tertiary structure applies to the individual chains.
Detailed explanation-2: -Protein tertiary structure is the three dimensional shape of a protein. The tertiary structure will have a single polypeptide chain “backbone” with one or more protein secondary structures, the protein domains. Amino acid side chains may interact and bond in a number of ways.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tertiary structure refers to the overall folding of the entire polypeptide chain into a specific 3D shape. The tertiary structure of enzymes is often a compact, globular shape.
Detailed explanation-4: -The shape of a protein is determined by its primary structure (sequence of amino acids). The sequence of amino acids in a protein is determined by the sequence of nucleotides in the gene (DNA) encoding it.
Detailed explanation-5: -The tertiary structure of proteins refers to the overall three-dimensional shape, after the secondary interactions. These include the influence of polar, nonpolar, acidic, and basic R groups that exist on the protein.
