STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
complete 3D structure of the protein chain
A
primary structure
B
secondary structure
C
tertiary structure
D
quaternary structure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The tertiary structure of a protein refers to the overall three-dimensional arrangement of its polypeptide chain in space. It is generally stabilized by outside polar hydrophilic hydrogen and ionic bond interactions, and internal hydrophobic interactions between nonpolar amino acid side chains (Fig.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -The 3D structure of a protein is referred to as its tertiary structure and is made by further folding of secondary proteins. Interactions between the side chains of amino acids lead to the formation of the tertiary structure, and bonds form between them as the protein folds.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Protein structures are made by condensation of amino acids forming peptide bonds. The sequence of amino acids in a protein is called its primary structure. The secondary structure is determined by the dihedral angles of the peptide bonds, the tertiary structure by the folding of protein chains in space.
