The structure of the hemoglobin in a molecule is the quaternary structure.
Quaternary Structure
Hemoglobin is a protein.
A protein Molecule
Hemoglobin is a protein. In particular, it's the protein that carries iron and helps transport oxygen to where it needs to be in the blood. It's also what makes blood red.
Primary protein structure is the order of amino acids that compose the protein and their arrangement into 2 dimensional structures like sheets or helixes is secondary. Tertiary structure is the mixed composition of secondary forms to make a three dimension protein and quaternary structure is how the protein becomes part of a functional unit like hemoglobin inside of a blood molecule.
Hemoglobin binds with oxygen molecules. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule.
The tertiary structure is the folding
Red blood cells are packed full of a protein called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin has a molecule of iron in each protein molecule. This hemoglobin is what carries oxygen. The oxygen binds with the iron.
Alpha Helix.
A protein, which is made up of amino acids.
Hemoglobin.
Hemoglobin is the protein involved in carrying O2 to the body cells.
iron and protein
They have different structure types. Hemoglobin is a globular protein, where it has a globular shape from the folding of amino acids by the hydrophobic effect. alpha-Keratin (the protein in hair), on the other hand, has a helical structure, with a repeating pattern of amino acids. Hemoglobin does not have a continuous repeating pattern of amino acids.
