Keratin is a protein, so it has both a primary and secondary structure. In fact, all proteins have a primary and secondary structure, along with a tertiary and quaternary structure. There are many different ways proteins can be structured and shaped, so biochemists divide proteins into 4 separate parts or structures.

What makes proteins three-dimensional?
Hydrophobic interactions cause proteins to form into a three-dimensional shape.
What is a three dimensional structure in inorganic chemistry?
Diamond, 3D silicates
Does amino acids affect protein functions?
The sequence of amino acids affects protein function. The three-dimensional structure of a protein determines its function. The three-dimensional structure of a protein is determined by the sequence of its amino acids.
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 does enzymes functions depend on?
The function of an enzyme is dependent on the shape of the enzyme. The structure and shape determines what the enzyme can do.
Structure of keratin?
Alpha keratin has alpha helix structure and beta keratin has beta pleated sheet structure.
When a protein loses its three-dimensional structure and becomes nonfunctional it is considered to be what?
When a protein loses its three-dimensional structure it's considered denatured.
What structure does a helix refer to?
A three dimensional spiral.
What makes proteins three-dimensional?
Hydrophobic interactions cause proteins to form into a three-dimensional shape.
Which allotrope of carbon has a three-dimensional rigid structure?
Diamond.
The three-dimensional shape of a polypeptide is associated with its?
primary structure
What is the distinctive recurring pattern in DNA with a three dimensional structure?
Motif
What is a three dimensional structure in inorganic chemistry?
Diamond, 3D silicates
Is a dimand a polygon?
No. A polygon is a flat structure like a triangle or circle. Diamonds are three-dimensional. It would most likely be classified as a polyhedron, as they are three-dimensional.
After translation what does a protein's function depends upon?
its final three dimensional structure
When atoms bind together into an orderly three dimensional structure is called a what?
Molecule.
What is the level of protein organization that provides it with a three dimensional shape?
Tertiary Structure.
