How many primary secondary tertiary and quaternary carbon atom in the following alkane or structure?

Please provide the alkane or structure so that I can accurately determine the number of primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary carbon atoms.


Which levels of structural organization are lost when a protein is denatured?

When a protein is denatured, it typically loses its secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures. This results in the disruption of its folded conformation and can lead to loss of function. The primary structure (sequence of amino acids) usually remains intact unless extreme denaturing conditions are applied.


Why protein is called primary structure?

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 aspect of protein structure are stabilized or assisted by hydrogen bonds?

secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structures, but not primary structure


Differentiate between secondary and tertiary structure by describing the parts of the polypeptide chain that participates in the bonds that hold together each level of structure?

Secondary structure refers to local folding patterns involving hydrogen bonding between the peptide backbone, forming alpha helices or beta sheets. Tertiary structure involves the overall 3D folding of the entire polypeptide chain, with interactions between side chains such as hydrophobic interactions, hydrogen bonding, disulfide bridges, and electrostatic interactions playing a major role in maintaining the structure.

Differentiate the four types of protein structure?

Primary structure: The linear sequence of amino acids in a protein. Secondary structure: Local folding patterns such as alpha helices and beta sheets. Tertiary structure: Overall 3D shape of a single protein molecule. Quaternary structure: Arrangement of multiple protein subunits in a complex.

What are the four levels of protein structure?

The four levels of protein structure are primary (sequence of amino acids), secondary (local folding patterns like alpha helices and beta sheets), tertiary (overall 3D structure of the protein), and quaternary (arrangement of multiple protein subunits).

What are the four structure levels of a protein?

The four levels of protein are: 1) Primary Structure 2) Secondary Structure 3) Tertiary Structure 4) Quaternary Structure The primary structure is just the amino acids bonded to each other in a linear fashion. Secondary structure is where the alpha-helices, beta-sheets, and b-turns come into play. The tertiary structure is when a single amino acid chain forms a 3D structure. And lastly, the quaternary stuture is when 2 or more tertiary structures complex.

How are proteins distugushed from each other?

They have different primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary structure.


What level of protein structure is a spatial arrangement of the secondary structure?

Tertiary structure. It refers to the three-dimensional arrangement of the secondary structure elements (alpha helices and beta sheets) in a protein.


Hydrogen bonds between different parts of the polypeptide chain result in which level of protein structure?

Hydrogen bonds between different parts of the polypeptide chain contribute to the secondary structure of proteins, specifically in the formation of alpha helices and beta sheets. These secondary structures then further fold and interact to form the tertiary structure of the protein.

What is the teritary structure of a protein?

The tertiary structure of a protein is just how a polypeptide folds up into a "glob" or a "pretzel-like" shape. Primary structure determines secondary and tertiary structure of a protein. Usually a tertiary protein is held together Disulfide bonds like those found in a Cysteine residue.
