Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The sequence of amino acids represents the primary structure of proteins. This refers to the linear sequence of amino acids that form the polypeptide chain. The secondary structure refers to the folding of the polypeptide chain into alpha helices or beta sheets. The tertiary structure refers to the overall 3D shape of the folded polypeptide chain, and the quaternary structure refers to the interactions between multiple polypeptide chains in a protein complex. Aggregate refers to the clustering of multiple proteins together, but is not a specific structural term for individual proteins.
