question
Complete the following vocabulary exercise relating to the level of structure in proteins.
answer
1. Quaternary structure is the result of two or more protein subunits assembling to form a larger, biologically active protein complex. 2. Secondary structure describes the alpha-helices and beta-sheets that are formed by hydrogen bonding between backbone atoms located near each other in the polypeptide chain. 3. Primary structure is the sequence of amino acids in a protein. 4. Tertiary structure is achieved when a protein folds into a compact, three-dimensional shape stabilized by interactions between side-chain R groups of amino acids.
