The association of four subunit peptides in a fully functional molecule of hemoglobin is a good example of?
The quaternary structure of proteins.
Quaternary structure of proteins?
The quaternary structure is the overall structure of an enzyme complex. This is made of at least two separate polypeptide chains. The 3D structure of one polypeptide is known as the tertiary structure.
What type of structure do proteins which act as enzymes possess?
quaternary structure
Is a protein a monomer?
No, proteins are made up of amino acids. Yes, at a larger scale, some proteins are monomers, made up of a single chain of amino acids, without a quaternary structure. Myoglobin is an example. About 80 % of the proteins, however, do have a quaternary structure. Haemoglobin, for example, is made up of four subunits similar to myoglobin.
Which level of protein structure has four subunit peptides?
Quaternary

Name an example of a protein structure with quaternary structure using this protein as an example determine its primarysecondary and tertiary structure interraction and factors involved in the conform?
Hemoglobin.
A fully functional molecule of hemoglobin is what kind of protein structure?
The structure of the hemoglobin in a molecule is the quaternary structure.
Proteins with more than one polypeptide chain have what structure?
These have quaternary structure. This is the overall shape of all the chains combined. The 3D shape of one polypeptide chain is the tertiary structure.
Do antibodies have a quaternary structure?
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).
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.

quaternary structure
What are the four levels of protein structure?
primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary

Is hemoglobin a protein that exhibits the quaternary structure of protein folding?
The tertiary structure is the folding
What is an example of tertiary?
An example of Tertiary structure regarding proteins are: ~side chains reactions ~sulfide bridges ~hydrophobic reactions ~chaperone proteins A protein may require 2 or more chains; if so, it will be considered a Quaternary Structure.
