what is the structure of prote?in
Amino acids are joined together via a peptide bond to form a polypeptide chain. One or more polypeptide chains are arranged together to form a 3-D structure of the protein. A single protein structure can be either primary or secondary or tertiary or quaternary.
Primary structure have one polypeptide chain arranged in a linear fashion.
Secondary structure have one polypeptide chain arranged in either helical structure (alpha-helix) or in plated structure (beta-pleated sheet), held together by hydrogen bonding.
In tertiary structure one polypeptide chain fold around each other to form a 3-D structure, folding can be held by hydrophobic bonds, ionic bonds, hydrogen bonding or disulfide bridges.
Quaternary structure is formed by combining two or more polypeptide chains and each polypeptide chain is called as a subunit.
