Answer:

Quaternary structure

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

A protein can be characterized by:

Primary structure: it is the linear sequence of amino acids.

Secondary structure: The amino acid sequence is folded by intermolecular interactions.

Tertiary structure: A greater folding of amino acids is observed by intermolecular interactions and disulfide bridges.

Quaternary structure: Two or more chains of folded amino acids join to form a new, more complex structure.
