Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the four levels of protein structure: primary, secondary, tertiary, and quaternary.
The primary structure of a protein is its unique sequence of amino acids.
The secondary structure refers to the local folded structures that form within a polypeptide due to interactions between atoms of the backbone. The most common types are α-helices and β-pleated sheets.
The tertiary structure is the overall three-dimensional structure of a single protein molecule, formed by interactions between the side chains of the amino acids.
The quaternary structure is the structure formed by several protein molecules, usually called protein subunits, which function as a single protein complex.
