Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Linear chain of amino acids
A
Primary Structure
B
Secondary Structure
C
Tertiary structure
D
Quaternary Structure
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The primary structure is comprised of a linear chain of amino acids. The secondary structure contains regions of amino acid chains that are stabilized by hydrogen bonds from the polypeptide backbone. These hydrogen bonds create alpha-helix and beta-pleated sheets of the secondary structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -Primary Structure (1˚) The primary structure of a peptide or protein is the linear sequence of its amino acids (AAs). By convention, the primary structure of a protein is read and written from the amino-terminal (N) to the carboxyl-terminal (C) end. Each amino acid is connected to the next by a peptide bond.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary structure of a protein necessarily linear (rather than branched) sequence of amino acids because it is able to coil and fold upon itself, resulting in 3D formations such as alpha helices and beta sheets.

Detailed explanation-4: -The linear sequence of amino acids within a protein is called the primary structure of the protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide.
