levels of protein Structure :
Primary Structure Sequence of amino acids influences how the
ypol peptide folds
:
Secondary structure :
O,H and N interactions :
form hydrogen bonds -> Alpha helix or Beta pleated sheet
Tertiary Structure Folding of :
a protein into its final shape due to R
group interactions
Hydrophobic and hydrophilic interactions bonds

·
lonic
Hydrogen bonds Disulfide bonds
- -
Quaternary structure Tertiary interactions :
between different subunits
Globular proteins Compact Spherical proteins formed
water Soluble , by hydrophobic interactions
