Regarding the structure of a protein, indicate the TRUE alternative: a) The tertiary structure is constituted only by the dipole-dipole type attractions between the polypeptide chains. b) The α-helix and β-laminar forms belong to the primary structure and are stable thanks to hydrogen bond-type interactions. c) All proteins have a quaternary structure and denaturation always affects this structural level. d) Disulfide bonds are the only ones responsible for the secondary structure. e) According to their shape, proteins are classified as fibrous and globular.
