Primary protein structure is dependent on?

Primary protein structure is the order of amino acids that compose the protein and their arrangement into 2 dimensional structures like sheets or helixes is secondary. Tertiary structure is the mixed composition of secondary forms to make a three dimension protein and quaternary structure is how the protein becomes part of a functional unit like hemoglobin inside of a blood molecule.


What is the colour of hemoglobin and oxy hemoglobin?

Well, the high concentration of hemoglobin is what gives our blood its red color. More specifically, the porphyrin functional group in the hemoglobin structure is what gives hemoglobin (and oxy-hemoglobin) its red hue.DO NOT LET ANYONE TELL YOU THAT HEMOGLOBIN IS RED BECAUSE OF THE IRON IN THE CENTER OF ITS STRUCTURE.

What is proteins subuit?

Proteins are produced as polymer of amino acid chains. They gain secondary structure elements such as alpha helix, beta sheet during folding and for their three dimensional structure. Some proteins such as Hemoglobin make quaternary structure where they form the final structure with four different subunits of two different proteins interacting each other.
