'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.

∙ 11y agoThe tertiary structure of proteins is a complex of secondary structures (coils, beta sheets, etc). This is as complex as some proteins get. Other proteins go to to form quarternary structures, which is a complex of tertiary structures. Both formations are due to folding and hydrophobic forces.

Secondary structure: primary structure hydrogen-bonds to itself to create alpha helices and beta sheets as well
Tertiary structure: secondary structure folds on itself and binds with hydrogen bonds and disulfide bonds to create a single polypeptide folded protein conformation
Quaternary structure: tertiary structures join together to form dimers, trimers, tetramers, etc. in a larger protein structure

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 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.
What is it called when a protein folds back onto itself?
a. tertiary structure b. primary structure c. secondary structure d. tertiary structure pick your best answer
How can a protein lose its tertiary structure?
affected by temperature or pH cause the protein denature .
What is the four levels of proteins?
Proteins have primary structure, which is their amino acid sequence, secondary structure, which is either the alpha helix or the beta pleated sheet, tertiary structure, the protein's geometric shape, and quaternary structure, the arrangement of multiple protein subunits.

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 hemoglobin a protein that exhibits the quaternary structure of protein folding?
The tertiary structure is the folding
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 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.
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.
What is the 3 dimensional shape of a protein?
Tertiary Structure.....:)
What is tertiary structure in protein?
The 3D shape or fold.
What is the tertiary structure of a protein is determined?
Hydrogen Bonds
Globular or fibrous polypeptide chains are what type of protein structure?
Tertiary structure.
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)
Which level of protein structure may be stabilized by covalent bonds?
Primary, tertiary and quaternary levels of protein structure.
