Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which level of protein organization is capable of having linear chains, a-helical, and b-pleated sheets observed on 1 strand of protein?
A
Primary
B
Secondary
C
Tertiary
D
Quaternary
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Secondary structure ‘.

Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary structure The most common types of secondary structures are the helix and the pleated sheet.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -The linear sequence of amino acids within a protein is considered the primary structure of the protein.

Detailed explanation-5: -The -helix and -pleated sheet structures are found in many globular and fibrous proteins. The unique three-dimensional structure of a polypeptide is known as its tertiary structure. This structure is caused by chemical interactions between various amino acids and regions of the polypeptide.
