Which levels of structural organization are lost when a protein is denatured?

The secondary and tertiary structures.


What aspect of protein structure are stabilized or assisted by hydrogen bonds?

secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, but not primary structure


Why protein is called primary structure?

Proteins *have* primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary structures. The primary structure is simply the chain of amino acids without any other structure. Secondary structure results from folding of the chain to form rudimentary structures such as alpha helices, beta sheets and turns. Tertiary structure results from the further folding of the protein with secondary structures into different 3D shapes by interactions between different parts of the secondary structure. Quarternary structure results from different proteins with tertiary structures coming together to form a protein complex.


Differentiate between secondary and tertiary structure by describing the parts of the polypeptide chain that participates in the bonds that hold together each level of structure?

Secondary tertiary is the R groups interactions that are ionic. The polypeptide chain also has disulfide bond, and hydrophobic interactions.


How is tertiary protein structure dependent on primary protein structure?

The relationship between the primary and tertiary structure of a protein is the both have a sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain.orThe sequence of amino acids in a primary structure determines its three-dimensional shape ( secondary and tertiary structure)

Differentiate the four types of protein structure?

There are four types of protein structure. These include primary structure, secondary structure, tertiary structure, and quaternary structure. Primary structure is the amino acid sequence. Secondary structure is the shape of the molecule. Tertiary structure is the interaction between groups. Quaternary structure is the interactions between protein subunits.

Is the secondary structure more polar than the linear amino acid sequence?

Protein tertiary structure is 3-D. Secondary structure is 2-D or linear. I. e. the linear a-a sequence is the secondary structure. Amino-acid monomers comprise the primary structure.


Hydrogen bonds between different parts of the polypeptide chain result in which level of protein structure?

Tertiary structure


What is the teritary structure of a protein?

The tertiary structure of a protein is just how a polypeptide folds up into a "glob" or a "pretzel-like" shape. Primary structure determines secondary and tertiary structure of a protein. Usually a tertiary protein is held together Disulfide bonds like those found in a Cysteine residue.
