Question

Name a bond that can stabilize the tertiary structure of the protein.

Answer 1

Protein:

1. Protein is made up of polypeptide chains that are the polymers of amino acids. It is a biomolecule.
2. Protein exists in primary, secondary, tertiary and quaternary structures.
3. The tertiary structure is the three-dimensional structure. It is found in a globular protein.
4. When linear protein is coiled and makes loops it is called tertiary structure. It becomes round.
5. The bonds that provide stabilisation to the tertiary structure of the protein are disulphide bonds, ionic bonds and hydrophobic bonds and wander Waal's interactions.
6. Myoglobin is an example of the tertiary structure of the protein.
