The primary structure
what are structures of protein
The protein structure contains both alpha helices and beta sheets, which are the two main elements of protein secondary structure.
The coiling of the protein chain backbone into an alpha helix represents the secondary structure of a protein. This structure is stabilized by hydrogen bonds between the amino acid residues in the protein chain, forming a corkscrew-like structure.
Explicit buffering is also known as "Zero Capacity Buffering" where it has maximum length of 0. Automatic buffering can be either "Bounded Capacity Buffering" or "Unbounded Capacity Buffering"

The tertiary structure is the folding
The structure of the hemoglobin in a molecule is the quaternary 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).
Primary structure: The linear sequence of amino acids in a protein. Secondary structure: Local folding patterns such as alpha helices and beta sheets. Tertiary structure: Overall 3D shape of a single protein molecule. Quaternary structure: Arrangement of multiple protein subunits in a complex.
It is called protein denaturation when heat causes the protein's structure to unfold and lose its functional shape. This can result in the loss of the protein's biological activity or ability to perform its intended function.
