Keratin is a protein, so it has both a primary and secondary structure. In fact, all proteins have a primary and secondary structure, along with a tertiary and quaternary structure. There are many different ways proteins can be structured and shaped, so biochemists divide proteins into 4 separate parts or structures.

What is a three dimensional structure in inorganic chemistry?

In inorganic chemistry, a three-dimensional structure refers to the arrangement of atoms in a molecule in three-dimensional space. This arrangement determines the molecule's shape, which in turn influences its chemical and physical properties. Examples of three-dimensional structures in inorganic chemistry include octahedral, tetrahedral, and linear geometries.
