BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

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: -The overall three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide is called its tertiary structure. The tertiary structure is primarily due to interactions between the R groups of the amino acids that make up the protein.

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: -Quaternary structure is the three-dimensional structure consisting of the aggregation of two or more individual polypeptide chains (subunits) that operate as a single functional unit (multimer). The resulting multimer is stabilized by the same non-covalent interactions and disulfide bonds as in tertiary structure.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tertiary structure is the overall 3D structure of the protein. Quaternary structure is the overall structure that arises when separate protein chains aggregate with self to form homodimers, homotrimers, or homopolymers OR aggregate with different proteins to form heteropolymers.
