It is called the tertiary structure of a protein. 'Clumping' two or more tertiary protein structures together yields the quaternary form, or shape.
Desmosomes hold a lot more than just the above together. See Gap Junctions.
'The Quaternary structure of a protein is the 4th level of folding for a protein. An example of this would be a red blood cell, which is a quaternary structure, it is made up of alpha helicies and also beta pleated in the tertiary structure. The Quaternary structure of a protein contains 4 tertiary structures in it.

Ligaments hold your bones together. Ligaments are thick fibrous bands of connective tissue that will hold bones, cartilage or other structures together.
Desmosomes hold a lot more than just the above together. See Gap Junctions.

No. It is possible for an enzyme to have a quaternary structure, but it strictly depends on the enzyme. For example, β-galactosidase, more commonly known as lactase, is the enzyme that breaks the β linkage between the disaccharide lactose into its componenets glucose and galactose. β-galactosidase is a tetramer, meaning it has four subunits. This is an example of an enzyme with a quaternary structure. Enzymes can also be tertiary structures, meaning only one subunit. The quaternary structure is just made up of more than one tertiary structures. Depending on the enzyme, it can either function with only one amino acid chain coiled into a conformation (tertiary) or a group of amino acid chains coiled into a conformation (quaternary).
If meaning the four structural levels in proteins, then these are:* Primary structure, which is the sequence of amino acids in the peptide chain that constitutes the protein. * Secondary structure, is the location of formations called alpha-helices, beta-sheets and coiled coils (undefined, flexible structure), that forms with the help of hydrogen bonds between amino acids. * Tertiary structure: This is the over-all fold/structure of one peptide chain/protein, which can consist of many so called "domains" of typical structures of alpha-helices and beta-sheets. * Quaternary structure: Because some proteins are formed from many smaller subproteins (that is, by many peptide chains), quaternary structure describe how these subunits are assembled together.
