Which of these proteins in mammals show only primary and secondary structures?

Collagen and keratin are examples of proteins in mammals that primarily exhibit only primary and secondary structures. Collagen is known for its triple helix structure, while keratin is a fibrous protein that forms alpha-helices and beta-sheets.


Do you expect proteins in urine to be in primary secondary and tertiary structures?

Proteins in urine are typically in their primary structure, which is the linear sequence of amino acids. Secondary and tertiary structures may be disrupted due to the conditions in the urinary tract. Significant alterations in structure can indicate health issues such as kidney damage or proteinuria.


How are proteins distugushed from each other?

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


What structures does this vascular cambium produce and where are they produced?

The vascular cambium produces secondary xylem (wood) and secondary phloem, which are formed in a lateral direction. These structures are produced between the primary xylem and primary phloem in stems and roots of plants. The secondary xylem is produced toward the interior, while the secondary phloem is produced toward the exterior, contributing to the increase in girth of the plant.


What is the three dimensional Structure of Keratin?

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.

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.

What are the names and description of the four structures of proteins?

If meaning the four structural levels in proteins, then these are:* Primary structure, which is the sequence of amino acids in the peptide chain that constitutes the protein. * Secondary structure, is the location of formations called alpha-helices, beta-sheets and coiled coils (undefined, flexible structure), that forms with the help of hydrogen bonds between amino acids. * Tertiary structure: This is the over-all fold/structure of one peptide chain/protein, which can consist of many so called "domains" of typical structures of alpha-helices and beta-sheets. * Quaternary structure: Because some proteins are formed from many smaller subproteins (that is, by many peptide chains), quaternary structure describe how these subunits are assembled together.

What can form a structure such as a helix or a sheet?

Proteins can form structures such as a helix or a sheet due to the specific arrangement of amino acids in their sequence. The hydrogen bonding between the amino acids in the polypeptide chain determines the secondary structure of the protein, leading to the formation of helices and sheets.
