Question

Write a brief remark on protein ternary structure.

Answer 1

Protein:

• A protein is an exceedingly complex natural molecule made up of amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds.
• Proteins are found in all living species and contain a variety of biologically important molecules such as enzymes, hormones, and antibodies.

Ternary Structure of proteins:

• This term refers to a protein's overall three-dimensional arrangement of all atoms
• The "secondary structure" refers to the spatial arrangement of amino acid residues in the primary structure, whereas the "tertiary structure" relates to the amino acid sequence's longer-range features.
• The ternary structure reveals the connections between amino acids that are widely apart in the polypeptide sequence and exist in distinct forms of secondary structure, as well as the subsequent folded shape of the polypeptide chain in the protein.
