Which of the following features of the hemoglobin molecule is considered part of its secondary structure?
A) subunit interactions
B) sequence of amino acids
C) alpha helices
D) ligand binding properties
E) electrophoretic mobility

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Alpha helices are a component of the protein's secondary structure, which refers to the local folding patterns of the protein backbone. Subunit interactions, ligand binding properties, and electrophoretic mobility relate to other aspects of the protein's structure and function. The sequence of amino acids is the primary structure of the protein.
