How are proteins distugushed from each other?
They have different primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure.
What makes proteins three-dimensional?
Hydrophobic interactions cause proteins to form into a three-dimensional shape.
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.
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.
Do you expect proteins in urine to be in primary secondary and tertiary structures?
Probably in tertiary structures as primary and secondary structures are those structures seen during the formation of proteins and tertiary proteins are mature proteins.
Is collagen a secondary or tertiary structure?
With most proteins, it has a secondary and tertiary structure.
Do all proteins have quandary structure?
No. Proteins start out as a Primary structure, which is just the linear form and sequence of amino acids. The proteins then start forming alpha helices and/or Beta sheets depending on the properties of the amino acids. This is their Secondary structure The proteins then fold completely into tertiary structure. Here, we have a lot of hydrogen bonding and hydrophobic interactions within the protein between the helices and beta sheets. Many proteins are fully functional in their tertiary structure and don't have any reason for forming into a quaternary structure. In the quaternary structure, we usually see an interaction between 2 or more polypeptides or proteins. An example would be 2 proteins in their tertiary structure binding together to become a functional dimer. If 3 proteins were interacting it would form a trimer. Several proteins are functional only in a quaternary structure while several more proteins are just fine in their tertiary structure and therefore do not have a quaternary structure.
What is an example of tertiary?
An example of Tertiary structure regarding proteins are: ~side chains reactions ~sulfide bridges ~hydrophobic reactions ~chaperone proteins A protein may require 2 or more chains; if so, it will be considered a Quaternary Structure.

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.
The process by which the tertiary and or quaternary structure of a protein are altered is known as?
denaturing. the proteins are said to be 'denatured'
What is meant by danaturation?
Denaturation is a process in which proteins or nucleic acids lose the quaternary structure, tertiary structure, and secondary structure which is present in their native state.
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.
Do you expect proteins in urine to be in primary secondary and tertiary structures?
Probably in tertiary structures as primary and secondary structures are those structures seen during the formation of proteins and tertiary proteins are mature proteins.
What is the tertiary structure for a protein?
'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.
Why is secondary called secondary?
Proteins *have* primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary structures. The primary structure is simply the chain of amino acids without any other structure. Secondary structure results from folding of the chain to form rudimentary structures such as alpha helices, beta sheets and turns. Tertiary structure results from the further folding of the protein with secondary structures into different 3D shapes by interactions between different parts of the secondary structure. Quarternary structure results from different proteins with tertiary structures coming together to form a protein complex.
