What term describes a polypeptide that is folded in 3-d structure and serve a purpose in living organisms?
Enzymes have this structure. The way that they are folded determines their function.
What chain is a sequence of amino acids that is the foundation for the basic structure of a protein?
polypeptide chain
The primary structure of a folded protein is?
The simple polypeptide chain.
Which primarily responsible for the helical structure of a polypeptide chain?
Hydrogen bonding
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.

polypeptide chain
Globular or fibrous polypeptide chains are what type of protein structure?
Tertiary 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.
What is the level of protein structure that describes all aspects of the three-dimensional folding of a polypeptide?
Primary: Simple string of amino acids called a polypeptide. Secondary: The varied hydrogen bonding of the side chains resulting in alpha helixes and beta sheets. Tertirary: The R group bondingd; hydophobic, hydrophilic, hydrogen bonding and disulfide bonding, which results in the globular, actual protein. Quarternary: The construction of multi protein subunits from tertiary structure. Such as hemeglobin.

Hydrogen bonding
A pleated sheet organization in a polypeptide chain is an example of which structure?
secondary
Quaternary structure of proteins?
