Question
question 26 during protein folding, this stage has charge interactions attracting portions of the polypeptide to itself a. tertiary b. secondary c. primary d. quartenary
Protein folding has four levels. The tertiary structure involves charge - charge interactions, hydrophobic interactions, and hydrogen bonds that cause different parts of the polypeptide chain to interact with itself, leading to the overall 3 - D shape of a single polypeptide. The secondary structure is mainly about local regular structures like alpha - helices and beta - sheets formed by hydrogen bonds between backbone atoms. The primary structure is just the linear sequence of amino acids. The quaternary structure involves the interaction between multiple polypeptide chains.
