The final three dimentional shape of a protein is?
It is called the tertiary structure of a protein. 'Clumping' two or more tertiary protein structures together yields the quaternary form, or shape.
What is the key feature of a protein or enzyme that makes its function correctly?
The most important feature that makes functional to a protein or an enzyme is its three dimensional structure based on its tertiary structure. Either, a structural protein, where alpha helices and beta sheets are vital to its function, or an enzyme, where the shape of its active site is crucial for its biological activity, the tertiary structure is the most important characteristic. In fact, the process called "protein folding" is one of the key biochemical areas of study for the scientific community.
Altering what levels of structural organization could change the function of a protein?
Altering all levels of structural organization can change the function of a protein: Primary, Secondary, Tertiary, Quaternary...
How can a protein lose its tertiary structure?
affected by temperature or pH cause the protein denature .
What does the tertiary structure of a protein tell you about the protein?
It tells us about the three dimensional structure of the protein in its folded configuration.
Which levels of structural organization are lost when a protein is denatured?
The secondary and tertiary structures.

What are the different levels of protein folding?
Tertiary - the protein's natural three- dimensional conformation - and Quaternary - how separately related tertiary forms coalesce.
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.
Is insulin a tertiary protein structure?
The active form of insulin, in the body, is a tertiary protein structure. However, when stored in the body, several insulin molecules are bound together in a hexamer (a six-protein quaternary structure).
What are the four levels of protein structure?
primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary
How can a protein lose its tertiary structure?
affected by temperature or pH cause the protein denature .
Is hemoglobin a protein that exhibits the quaternary structure of protein folding?
The tertiary structure is the folding
What is the 3 dimensional shape of a protein?
Tertiary Structure.....:)
What is tertiary structure in protein?
The 3D shape or fold.
