Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What level of protein structure is the coiling into a helix, or folding into a sheet?
A
Primary
B
Secondary
C
Tertiary
D
Quaternary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most common types of secondary structures are the helix and the pleated sheet.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: The secondary structure refers to a protein’s polypeptide backbone chain. Alpha helix is one of the secondary structures a protein can have.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer is C. Tertiary. The structure of a protein that comes from the further bending and folding of pleated sheets and helices is the tertiary structure.

Detailed explanation-4: -Tertiary Structure of Proteins Tertiary structure refers to the overall folding of the entire polypeptide chain into a specific 3D shape.

Detailed explanation-5: -The tertiary structure of the protein Tertiary structure of the protein is a three-dimensional combination of -helices and -sheets that fold next to each other as a result of noncovalent interactions between amino acids’ side groups and the environment surrounding the single polypeptide.
