STRUCTURE OF PROTEINS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The protein forms a three-dimensional structure in the
A
Primary structure
B
Secondary structure
C
Tertiary structure
D
Quaternary structure
Explanation: 

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 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-3: -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-4: -Answer and Explanation: The overall three-dimensional shape of a protein is determined by its amino acid residues and is known as the tertiary structure of a protein. When the amino and carboxylic groups in the backbone chain form hydrogen bonds with one another, secondary structures are formed.

Detailed explanation-5: -Tertiary structure refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of all atoms in a protein. Tertiary structure is formed by the folding in three dimensions of the secondary structure elements of a protein.
