Detailed explanation-1: -The term protein is a functional biological molecule consisting of one or more polypeptides folded and coiled into a specific three-dimensional structure.
Detailed explanation-2: -The primary structure of a protein-its amino acid sequence-drives the folding and intramolecular bonding of the linear amino acid chain, which ultimately determines the protein’s unique three-dimensional shape.
Detailed explanation-3: -The folding of many proteins begins even during the translation of the polypeptide chain. The amino acids interact with each other to produce a well-defined three-dimensional structure, the folded protein (see the right side of the figure), known as the native state.
Detailed explanation-4: -Secondary Structure Secondary Structure refers to the coiling or folding of a polypeptide chain that gives the protein its 3-D shape. There are two types of secondary structures observed in proteins. One type is the alpha () helix structure.
