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.

What is a three dimensional protein that is formed by the interaction of R groups in the primary structure?
This is not in the primary structure, or even from the primary structure. This folding of proteins into the globular final shape by the bonding interaction of R groups is called the tertiary phase of protein synthesis. ( tertiary means three )
Are ionic bonds responsible for the primary structure of a protein?
Primary structure of a protein represents the sequence of the amino acids of that particular protein. The amino acids are bonded together by a bond called 'peptide bond'. The peptide bond is formed by carbonyl group of an amino acid with nitrogen group of the adjacent amino acid. Only this peptide bond is responsible for the formation of primary structure of protein. Hence the ionic bonds are not involved in the primary structures of protein.
Which level of protein structure may be stabilized by covalent bonds?
Primary, tertiary and quaternary levels of protein 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)
What type of bond joins monomers in a primary structure?
Peptide bonds join the monomers in a protein's primary structure.
The order of amino acids in a protein is called?
primary structure
Which level of protein structure is unaffected when a protein is denatured?
The primary structure
What is a three dimensional protein that is formed by the interaction of R groups in the primary structure?
This is not in the primary structure, or even from the primary structure. This folding of proteins into the globular final shape by the bonding interaction of R groups is called the tertiary phase of protein synthesis. ( tertiary means three )
What is primary structure of a protein and what causes it?
Primary structure of the protein is simply its amino acid sequence. It is the sequence in which amino acids are added during protein synthesis.
What are primary proteins?
There is not something known called primary proteins. But proteins do have primary structure. Poly peptide chains after synthesized from ribosomes make up primary structure of a protein. this will afterward form 2D and 3D structure with additional structures and interactions.
Are ionic bonds responsible for the primary structure of a protein?
Primary structure of a protein represents the sequence of the amino acids of that particular protein. The amino acids are bonded together by a bond called 'peptide bond'. The peptide bond is formed by carbonyl group of an amino acid with nitrogen group of the adjacent amino acid. Only this peptide bond is responsible for the formation of primary structure of protein. Hence the ionic bonds are not involved in the primary structures of protein.
Is the structure of protein primary?
The primary structure of proteins is simply a peptide (chain of amino acids).
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
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.
Of the four protein structureswhich level is lowest level of a protein structure?
the primary structure is the lowest level
What is the level of protein structure is the amino acid sequence of the protein?
Quaternary tertiary secondary primary is the sequence.
Which level of protein structure may be stabilized by covalent bonds?
Primary, tertiary and quaternary levels of protein structure.
