The shape of proteins primarily is determined by the order of amino acids (the building blocks of proteins, all strung together in a single line, can be ten's of thousands long).

Interactions between the building blocks causes the proteins to fold and twist on itself (1) and multiple protein molecules can come together to shape bigger molecule complexes (2).
