Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The arrangement of amino acids in space in a local region in the protein chain results in the secondary protein structure, which can take the form of a pleated sheet or a helix. The primary structure refers to the linear arrangement of amino acids in the protein chain, while the tertiary and quaternary structures describe the three-dimensional folding and interactions between multiple protein chains, respectively. Peptide bond refers to the covalent bond that joins two amino acids in the protein chain.
