BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Explanation: Tertiary structure is stabilized by multiple interactions, specifically side chain functional groups which involve hydrogen bonds, salt bridges, covalent disulfide bonds, and hydrophobic interactions.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrophobic Interactions These non-covalent bonds are the most important factor and driving force in the formation of the tertiary structure. If we place hydrophobic (water-hating) molecules in water, these molecules will aggregate together and form large chunks of hydrophobic molecules.

Detailed explanation-3: -The formation of disulfide bridges by oxidation of the sulfhydryl groups on cysteine is an important aspect of the stabilization of protein tertiary structure, allowing different parts of the protein chain to be held together covalently.
