Question

Which of the following statements is true about the (primary ) 1° structure of proteins?

(a) The helical structure of the protein
(b) Subunit structure of the protein
(c) Three-dimensional structure of the protein
(d) The sequence of amino acids joined by a peptide bond

Answer 1

d

Step-by-step explanation:

primary structure of a protein is the sequence of amino acids. secondary structure is the curling or folding of the polypeptide chain into Alpha helices or Bita pleated sheets due to formation of H bonds. tertiary structure is the overall 3D shape of the protein determined by the interactions between R groups. Quaternary structure is the specific 3D shape of a protein that is determined by the multiple polypeptide chains or prosthetic groups bonded together.
